John, try Tower Hobbies, they usually have good prices

That is basically correct for the main joysticks. For
example, my left stick controls the tracks but has six
function positions. N= forward both,NE=forward left
track only,E=forward left + reverse right,etc. My
right stick has four positions N,S,E,W and controls
elevate N,S and turret rotate E,W. All of the require
either the Anvilus controller or MAG controller and
switches.

The .68 weighs more and will travel farther. A longer
rifled barrel will give you more accuracy at longer
ranges. Depending on your battle style, ie "Damn the
entrenched 3 adversaries I'm going in , otherwise
known as the in your face method, every shot is within
10 feet. In that case, every barrel is fine. On the
flip side,if gunnery is your style,ie, standing off
10+ yards, tracking and then laying 4 (3 if you're the
Hetzer) shots on your unsupecting foe, sometimes known
as "Death from another dimension", then the longer
rifled barrel helps.

And I know if you put your mind and soul to the task
you'll have your tank ready for fall 2005.
