HI Tom, yes the six wheels are powered, one motor for the 3 wheels on the right and one
motor for the 3 wheels on the left, it drive just like a tank, and as you seen in the video it can spin on himself thanks to that "tank" drive. To image it, suppose the tank track is just a chain, that bring the power to 3 wheels. that chain in this case is inside the tank and the drive is a bit more complicated because I builded an independant suspension for all the six wheels.

How do you steer it and are all the wheels powered? Tom On Mar 21, 2009, at 4:00 PM, Guy Gregoire wrote: HI I recorded short videos of my Recon running in the backyard. The video are of very poor quality, I apologize, but I only have my cellphone to record video, so the resolution is small, and as I was holding the cellphone in my left hand and driving the Recon with my right hand, it get easily out of frame. With these 24v 300amp motors the vehicule have more than enough power. If only summer was coming faster. I have one PanzerIII T050, to battle if ever some battler spawn in my area, so was originally thinking to build a KingTiger, but turn the lower hull as a 6 wheeled Recon, just for the fun of running it around. Cant wait for some forest ride in summer. I use the same electronics than the PanzerIII, gotta use it at the price it come, and it work to good to wait an ennemy tank. I plan to buy a new car soon, it will be choosed to accomodate a tank in the back to increase my battling range. I was wondering, as I fine tune this Recon. As its a 1/6 scale hull of KingTiger, but on wheels, would it be possible that I battle with it if I install a rotating turret with paintball gun on top of it? I build this vehicule with in mind the idea to replace the turret for anything else ( ex: robot arm ) as a multipurpose RC mobile base. Simply said, can we take liberty with our tank design? If not np, I can still use it as Recon and supply vehicule. Greg. Messenger has tons of new features that make chatting more fun.
