His is already enroute.

Our advice can be readily applied to that inevitable second tank. Also, you can buy upgrades to your first one. It's a journey more than a destination.

just curious as its still in route, but what is any failings on it or somethings to look out for in advance, just the basic edition, new to this so hope its great but these look soo freaking awesome, cheers!

If you can afford, buy the version with the most options installed like metal tracks, barrel recoil, 360 turret. Steel gears are pretty much standard now. Dai

I have the HL KT and it is one of my favorite tanks. Look great and fun to drive. All my tanks have metal tracks and more. Dai

You'll gather this from comments on these threads, but know that they, just as real ones, require maintenance and tinkering to keep operating. Don't let that put you off. Basic versions are fine, I've owned a bunch. Metal tracks are fun and lend weight, but plastic looks identical and can be painted to look very authentic.

Oh, and r/c tanks are like potato chips. Nobody can have just one!

In 2.5 months I am already onto my 12th tank ! Just ordered the HL Abrams. All my tanks have metal tracks and more. Dai

After opening the tank up, do not over tighten the screws when putting it back together, Start them ALL before tightening any of them. Once they are all properly started, screw them down snug, but not tight. They are only going in to plastic !!
