RE: New to RC tanks
I acquired one of the camo tanks a few weeks ago, I always though it looked hideous but doesnt look as bad in the flesh - still, a paintjob is on the cards.
Also, Dmon - if you're breaking wires everytime you open up a tank, you're being too rough or pulling the halves too far apart before detaching the plugs (turret loom and antenna lead). Rushing and going in heavy-handed I would definitely expect things to break - be patient, take your time (its not a race), make sure everything is OK then put it back together, and you'll have a low-maintenance tank.
