Re: entry RC level vehicle [TANKS]

Joe,
That's a similar line of thinking I am taking with my Stuart from 
Walmart....When I get my Comet running, the Stuart will be made into a 
supply vehicle w/box in place of turret.....I also looked at the Jeep and I 
figured I better get the Comet done first...

Kurt (too many ideas, no time) G
