I am ordering the tank puller and see how that works.
The tank pulls have a little hook that catches on the body in a crash. Keeps it from pulling the lid open.

As for the build pics, I would post some if I had taken any when I built it. It's togather now, and I don't care to pull it back apart just for pics. In all reality, Mark Mader did all of the work involved in the mod, so theres not too much for me to show anyway. I can get some pics of what the modded gearbox looks like, and what the finished product looks like, but I don't have any build pics.
