lol she says the tanks are theraputic for me building them helps me relax and relieves stress. as for paying her back the only thing she asked for is that she can battle with me . and find a black svt contour to compliment my silver one.(see pics)

Great looking tank! Just wait 'till you get the Sherman, it builds up real nice.
We must not forget to be nice to our wive's for letting us feel we're the "Ruler of the House"!

it runs great but it has the tiger sound all thats left is a little more weathering and camo netting on the barrel will add to the realism what i like is the barrel recoils back when you fire it .the tank itself jerks back just a little not bad at all and the tracks are hard rubber .and after 12 years together and being married for 7 of the 12 .not to mention everything she has had to deal with and take on since my accident i can defenatly say she rules the house.

Cool i think for some reason the IR versions don't jerk back to bad they actually look good..on the other hand the airsoft for some reason fly back like you are going in reverse! One idea i had about the jerking back on the airsoft version is maybe put a small resister in line with the switch they use that the gun hits to activate the recoil action...maybe it will make the switch less of a short and just maybe the signal will get weaker and maybe the tanks electrics may get triggered as a softer back jerking moton due to a less of a short signal..

Nice Tank from a generous and sweet wife! This forum is turning out to be a bad place for me because I see too many tanks and vehicles I want to buy.
