HI
Overall, the tank is a good performer. All you need to do is change the electronics and you'll be happy driving it around fer hours. The stock electronic is garbage. here's a link to other mods to the T-34. cheers!

Ahem
Wos, you might want to check how the seller is describing his item before assuming.
Mato Toys lists their RC T34 as a Trumpeter, though its actually a Wasan RC unit. I bought one from Mato, and it was a Wasan. Odds are he is calling it a Trumpeter as they provided the main molds to the company that produced the RC version.
Fear not JerB, its the RC version, and in all honesty, I disliked mine as the suspension arms flexed before the suspension springs went into action. Apart from that, it looked like a decent piece of work as a conversion-tank. I hope to buy a Walker Builldog in the next few months, and have only delayed due to health reasons.

Well one of the first things you NEED TO DO..open it up and reverse the on/off switch..if you hit a twig or tall grass or anything that you might hit that can hit the switch, it will turn off the tank. if you can relocated the switch or just turn it around it would be the best thing you can do on the short haul.
On the german sight they show other mods which look like some work is involved
but to improving this tank appears to be easy and much easier to take apart than sa a Tiger tank. so the switch is the first thign I would do!
