I don't consider myself a big fan of StarCraft since it's been years since I
last fired up the game, however I am a _big_ fan of the brick :)

It's a bit sad that those "super units" exist, however I have a vague memory of
some air unit that had great inpact of the tank?

I use standard model airplane RC-stuff and make a point of only using it to
control pure LEGO controls such as the polarity and pneumatic switch. I.E. I
replace my hands with the servos and thus consider myself "purer".
I'd probably go with John Barnes HiTechnic stuff if I did not have my kit:

Hope this helps. Someday I'll make a page about the RC-thingies since I get a
lot of questions in this nature.
