Just placed an order this morning for the full option version. Shipping is expensive at $102 but it is via air.

I didn't have any interest in this tank until the Starship turret with detail kit was released. I ordered one with full metal upgrades and the full detail kit. I Emailed Carson and asked if I could get it with the older T97E2 chevron track and the reinforced road wheels instead of the plain wheels and T-142 oval pad track. He said that was doable and that he would make it an option on the website so that's what I ordered. In my limited searches on the net for pics of the Starship, most of them have the older T-97E2 chevron track and reinforced wheels.

Since I drive my tanks in really dusty environments details such as the wheel "braces" will just not stand out much after a short time. All the details seems to get covered in layers of dust and dirt rather quickly.
The A2 should be an interesting project tank. The basic "all plastic" TD M60 has seemed to perform well at our battle days (not mine but a member here). So I am looking forward to seeing how well the "metal" version will do.

Hopefully any and all "bugs" can be found and fixed before the A2 turret arrives sometime in April. Yes probability is more like May knowing DKLM. Having seen SoCalBobs all plastic M60 in action which I feel was on par functioning wise with the HL modern plastic tank offering, I have high hope for the metal versions will be a decently rugged and reliable tank🤞🤞🤞.

I broke down and purchased a metal version along with a bunch of spare metal parts, it all arrives in a few days as well. I am going to tear it down to the "nuts & bolts" in a "show and tell thread". Also going to beat the **** out of it on my test course. I look forward to your insight gained from your as well so we (as a hobby) can really start learning the ins and outs these TD tanks.

But to answer your question you can run a fair number of tanks at the same time because each is bound to its own transmitter.
