Did you build it? I like the lights on too. I like the Pershing . Mine is an Elmod HL with metal tracks and reduced gear set. It is th most dependable tank own.

How about a pic of the inside? Would like to see how you organized the wiring. Here are a couple of pics of mine which is pretty tight inside as well.

The Tamiya Pershing "wire hygiene" is vital. It is always a very challenging job. Be creative and DO NOT bundle the wires too tightly. My trick is to use cheap re-tieable wire tires from bread bags or the wire from the 21 Century Toy packaging on the wires until I'm 100 % sure they are in the best spot possible. I also use clear scotch tape to keep the reciever DMD neat. There are a few types plastic wire clips that I use as well. I will attach some pix for you to examine. If you need more room you can remove the speaker from the large box and remote mount it. I install a screen to protect the speaker and I also mount almost everything with velcro instead of the double sided tape. This was you can shift things around a little and change alignments or orientation. I have a method for the Pershing and when I am satisfied that it is the best position then I replace the reuseable ties with the smallest wire ties I can. Also, cut the ties with a exacto knife and not a wire cutter. The sharp end of the wire ties will not only cut your hands but can chaffe fine wires like the communication cable and IR emmiter wires. I also try to run wires underneath components in the tank whenever possible to keep them out of the way. In the Panther and other front gear box tanks, I cover the gearboxes to keep wires and dirt out while keeping the oils and grease in. I hope this will help you out. The M26 is a great tank but not very forgiving on "wire hygiene"..... Just remember it could be worse.... It could be a Leopard. The Leo turret holds everything and is very tight.
