Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I plan to do the metal hull, metal road wheels, 3:1 gear reduction and maybe the creeping death turret I read about. I am very green though and definitely not sure of much when it comes to these tanks. I was wondering if I need to upgrade the motors to run the gear reduction properly.If so what do you recommend? I have to ask this too. Beaing that I too have esp and fully realize this is the first of many to come in my tank collection, is the King Tiger much different from the Tiger 1? And does HL also make one? Oh hell, I need an american tank next guys. I think....
