Hey Bigmig
I won't get this until Christmas but here is some info about it.
Features include: Forward and backward movement, forward ability with left and right movement, backward ability with left and right movement, turret turning capability, main cannon has missle shooting ability with sound and recoil motion, machine gun sound effects, realistic suspension system, tank is powered by 12 volt rechargeable battery. Cannon can be manually moved up and down. It only shoots a missle about 5 feet. 42 inches long a lot of room inside to do things. I new to RC but I know some brainiacs can help. Thanks Ron

I think at this point I would like to make modifications to this big one. I have a 1/12 tank coming also so I can check out how it works but not until Christmas. Just in the planning stage. I think I will still need another channel or two. Does that mean another radio? Can you add channels to a radio? I don't know enough. I'll get that Squirrel! Thanks Ron

Works for me? (tested before posting, and just then)

RE: M1A2 ABRAMS TANK 1:9 Modification help
 

Its now working for me. Nice work! You put a lot of time in but it looks great. Ron

I wonder if the best way to install an airsoft firing unit and make the cannon go up and down would be by buying a tank that does this and swapping parts? Thanks Ron

You are right BIGMIG
Are you in the USA? Can I use my DX7 spectrum radio as a radio for a tank? I would need a new 6 channel receiver to use with it. Will the motors, turret and other parts in the tank running by the tank radio work with the new DX7? Thanks Ron

I know what you mean just checking if I bought servos could I use my radio. You buy the HL tanks than use their parts to upgrade you tanks. Where do you buy the HL tanks. Can you get them on ebay? Under what name do they use ,Heng Long, on ebay so I can search for them? Sound like the best idea.
