Had to put one cross on it for now! Just ran thru an initial start-up and function test. Works perfect!

Nice! 🙂

See Ya, Larry

Thanks! I'd like to do that. I may have three or four tanks by the time I come down on May 29th considering how well this one has performed today. Very impressed with how easy it is to maneuver and shoot on the move. The build quality is superb. Here's the big one, though: even my wife thinks it's cool. LOL I kind of knew she would, though. Her hobby is antique doll and picture frame restoration. She takes stuff we find at yard sales and thrift stores, stuff I think belongs in the trash and somehow makes it look brand new again. Occasionally she'll sell one of her doll-projects on EBay but, most of the time she keeps them. Same with picture frames so she understands my newfound fascination with RC tanks. I think we both married the right women, Larry! .

Enjoyed getting to know the Taigen Tiger 1 (Late) this weekend and learning how to drive a metal 1/16 scale RC tank. Very cool. Still lots to learn but, overall, a successful and satisfying first run.
