Nice.

All you really have to do is cut off that unrealistic muzzle brake to make it look like the typical WWII 75mm Sherman.
What kind of functions does it have?

the steering on it is hard to get used to because one stick is F/R and the other is L/R, its not independant. and on the top of the controller theres 2 other buttons for turning the turret, and next to the on/off switch theres a button you press to make the turret go up and down. a red LED turns on when you move turret up and down lol, and there 2 little yellow lights in the front. i cut all the lights because I want to save battery when driving.

It came with that blue recharge battery pack 4.8 volts and I think its 600mah cause it said to charge it for about 3 hours with the 200mah charger that came with it. run time with that wasent that good after about 8-12 min it started jerckying around when you try to move. But good thing they had slots for battery terminals in there, I think it was meant to have 3 aa's in it. So I put terminals in it and it seems to run alot longer and its speed and performance wasent decreased. The gear boxes are very good to because they dont click or stop moving when moving around offroad. Treads are pretty good to, there rubber so they grip very well, can go up about a 35 degree slant.

Theres my little review of it lol, its deffinatly worth the $13!
