Hey you may remember me as the guy who built T062 (M1A2 Abrams)
Anyway, I've been away at college for a while and doing more research.
I have been wanting to replace the EV-warriors in my tank for some

haven't been too active on here in a while and lost the links I had
before. Thanks for the help.
