i got this from my buddy at the swap meet. paid only $150 for it!!

its a 1974 M-4 tank,1/16 scale. dual 380 motors , brass tracks (think they are brass)
has a single stick 3 channle radio , MRC electrics. tank works, but all the bushings need replaced,(makes noises as the tank turns) think the clutch mechanisms need rebuilt. when i got it had dry mud on it, so i took the tracks off and cleaned it up a bit, removed the electrics,and pulled the drive train assembly . that was just to get the mud out of it.
put it back together, and its been sitting for 7 months. should be starting the resto here in a few days.

here's some recent pics. Enjoy!!

Mate you have so many restos starting in a few days how will you ever find time to do them all?...a case of Red Bull and burning the midnight oil should do it..

it was like a email argument. i had bidded on a Edinger chassis, would have won the bid for $18.00!!
he emailed me saying he thinks i have no intentions of buying the chassis if i win it. said he thought i was chris or some one acting on his behalf, trying to waiste his time and make hime lose business.
he then took the item off ebay,and left it at that/ totaly wierd, have no idea what he was talking about,
but oh well. i still got my gold pans and my tank,so im happy.
