hey joe,
           thanks for the e mail     but were tryin to get started   we need 
ideas for a ...... well actually i have a question for ya.!        me and 
patrick are tryin to figure where to put our motors   do u think we should 
have our tank rear driven or front driven    i have a small R/C tank and we 
were driven it up a steep incline   and the tank performed best   front 
wheel driven    and it seemd to climb over objects better  and thats our 
question for ya     the motors -   front wheel or rear wheel driven?         
       we would also like some ideas on the materials   we thought we would 
make the tank out of wood and then line it with plexi-glass     is that a 
good idea?      one last question for ya      im sure u have a tank   and if 
u could email me a picture of the tank    and the basic directions   on how 
u built it    we have been looking every where for directions

YOU ALOT
                                              quent & patrick
