Welcome Yellow... you'll love the Tiger! Lots of mod possibilities. Depending on what you want to spend, the Asiatam metal hull is a worthwhile investment. Comes with lots of other metal parts and really beefs up the Tiger. Check out RC Command. Bill's a great guy and has lots of Tiger extras...

I've got two and am totally rebuilding one to be a late model Tiger, and a King Tiger on the way. Here's some of the stuff I started with, and metal tracks are a big improvement and add a good amount of weight to the tank. Mines not finished yet, but sitting at about 12 pounds with the metal hull, wheels, etc. If you go heavy, a cooling fan is a must or you'll overheat and blow the electronics. Use the search box at the bottom of the page - there is a ton of information hidden within this forum. If you can't find an answer just ask - someone knows the answer and will help you out. They are fun to play with, and inexpensive to fix if something goes wrong.
Enjoy the Tiger and welcome to the forum!
