Hi all got this for my birthday ( not built an rc car since I was in my early 20s, over 40 yrs ago) 

Things have changed a lot (detail wise I don't think for the better)

Looks much better than the Tamiya R/C Leopard tank I built back in the 80's.  Some fittings in the gearbox clutches were cast brass instead of machined brass & fractured after very little use - luckily I knew a machinist who made new ones for me.

Well she is finished.






And she is very robust (let my grandson have a go) he's 2 got a lot of crashing and rough handling but there is not a mark on it.
