Thanks KK some diagrams would be helpful, I've taken it apart but I don't know which  board controls what....

I need to buy a transmitter for it, or is it possible to use a planet t5? Also 1 of the gearboxes seems to be sticking, turning by hand every few rotations it locks up, wiring a battery directly to the motor it works but 'pulses' as it forces its way past the point of locking... not sure what else might be wrong with it and can't check until I can turn it on and try using the controls to see what works and what doesn't.

Thanks I'll check that link out tomorrow, off to work now :(

I don't have rc tanks but I have a lot of remote controlled cars, buggies and tracks with me.  I love stadium trucks as you can just go all out with them and let them jump around on trails that could be ever so challenging.

I would really like to try tankers as well though I have no good place to run them with.  The usual road would be great but I am looking at running them on off days and hours to be able to get something straight out of it.

depends on the size of your bank balance  ;D

Seriously tho 1:16 seems to be the most common and best catered for in the upgrades market
The Heng Long range are very popular for those on a budget (RTR start at around 60quid) but the number of upgrades and extra detailing parts is immense.... be warned tho it's very easy to sink several hundred pounds into a model
Next up are the Tamiya Tanks with a nice range of upgrades but the inital price can be abit steep (4-600quid)

After that you have the larger scales with likes of armourtek.... these will set you back thousands.
I would suggest picking up a Heng long tank to see if its really what you want.  You can easily upgrade it and if it turns out you are not a "Tanker" the investment is not too bad

Can a tank motor / tracks / speed controller be used in a twin shaft boat?
