Derek, Vantec controllers, they're the ones that make that humming/buzzing noise when operating aren't they ? What are your thoughts on buying used electronics? Grant - Original Message - From: Derek Engelhaupt To: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 20

If you decide to do the KV-2 I have some drawings resized to 1/6... I get them printed at the local blueprint place. They're a bit fuzzy at full scale, but easy to work with on measurements :) Now to get them moved to the new computer. -- Clark in Georgia M4 Sherman --~--~-~--~~-
