RE: Tiger pulls to the right
If this is a Tamiya Tiger put it on a block of wood that will raise the tracks off the ground then start it and see if one track moves faster then the other if so you will need to adjust the rud screw on DMD . Jimmy

RE: Leo conversion from 35rctank.com?
I don't have there kit for the Leo 1A4 but they made a few turret drives for me what I have seen of the kit looks very good only thing if you like to battle they don't have a system for it . Someone could buy it and then have one of the guy's who works on the battle systems try to make one work like the DBC3 . Thanks Jimmy

RE: Buying a Tamiya tank
The Pershing will work well with no after market parts its just harder to build . The Tiger 1 is a good tank to start out with big and roomy . The Sherman is not to bad just no recoil unless you get the new m51 version . Thanks Jimmy

RE: radio
The 4YF 2.4 GHz you can get the self centering kit from Karen at AAF . The Spektrum DX5e they wont do the self centering you have to do it your self with some screws and springs to remove the ratchet on one stick . Jimmy

If this is a Tamiya DMD you may need to adjust the motor setting its a screw on the top of the DMD called rud to balance the motors . Jimmy

RE: Whats important to you
1.kit to build that's the fun part I like Tamiya kits . 2.upgrades would be nice but easy to due some of the upgrades I have seen with way lot of flash you have to dremal off . 3.it depends on electronics I like Tamiya and el-mod and the slu if it comes with a good setup great other wise ill buy it myself. 4.love the metal lower hulls but will take plastic if it is done very good upper plastic ok. 5.tracks I like metal if the plastic is weak like the Tamiya KT plastic tracks but then the plastic tamiya that come with the pershing and the leo are nice so it depends on how there made .
