Operational M26
I know I said I would get pics up so here they are. I was running it around my basement for a little while and everything worked great. Now I have to do some little detail parts on the Tank and I should be good for a while. I was thinking of getting a Tiger, But might go for a Abrams. Have to make up my mind. This is the first tank I ever owned. So if anyone has any suggestions to what else is a good tank let me know. Thanks Anthony

My first word of advice in selecting a new tank was to consider getting tanks with similar electronics for economy of spare parts and speed of repairs. Then I scrolled down and saw your new electronics! Are my eyes correct in that you have 3 battery packs in there? Outside of tank looks great!

RE: Operational M26
Yes you are correct I have 3 batteries one for each esc and 1 for the rx. Figured it would run longer and have better power control with each motor running on its own battery. I used the seperate battery for the rx so I wouldnt drain one battery more than the other. all batts are drained equally, except the rx with a 1200Mah battery that should last a while till recharging.

1800 Mah Was all my Hobby Guy had for me, Since I needed two of them. I recived the electronics in the mail that same day and I couldnt wait a week to get Batteries. My next tank I think I will do 3600 Twins, as long as I can fit them in the hull. I might even consider a M5 from 21st Century. Just havent heard enough about them to make that a final desision.

The 3600 are the same size. I get them on eBay. Now that the 4200s are out the prices on the 3600s should drop. I'd love a Stuart but am out of parking spaces for tanks at the moment! They are great tanks, even seen one with a Honda gas motor jumping ramps!

The weathering looks great, but one thing HL messed up on (ok, one ~more!~ thing~) have a look at the MG, and note the ammo feed slot is at the frront of the receiver assembly. Where the ammo box is placed, it could not feed the gun! It should be on the front of the pivot-mount, as shown here:

RE: Operational M26
3600 batts are dropping your right, I just picked up a pair for a total of £25, so thats around $24 each!!!! US. One of the few things that are actually cheaper on Ebay.
