"But you are right Derek, the gas models seem more robust." Robust? Robust is a Cromwell pounding it's way over a 2'x8' 1/2" rebar staked barrier to avoid fire from the Naverone. Said rebar was bent in half! ;-) On another note. The Tyng Industries new production facitlies are coming al

Yikes, if the hobby ever went all gas powered, it would turn into a log splitters convention!! But you are right Derek, the gas models seem more robust. D. - Original Message - From: Derek Engelhaupt To: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2012 10:25 PM Su
