Very nice! Always happy to see a new all metal tank. They are more
straightforward, SIMPLER to build and seem they can last longer. You know,
these suspensions are going to rock if you hit the gas over a bumpy terrain. !
Are the tracks' pads also aluminium? I didn't remember

Really struggling with the paintball magazine. So far I think I'm on about
the 6th prototype.
I'm gonna work on it some more tonight. Once I get that done, I can finish
the turret electronics
up. Still having some suspension issues. It's holding the weight, but not
rebounding the way it
should. That's also on the list. Once that's fixed I can take it out for a
test drive. Ahhh, the garage
wasn't that cold today. It was at least above freezing today (40 degrees).

I tapped that dryer on the previous run, because both RC channels were
backwards.
I was surprised it moved.
Blew the budget today - bought 4 12 volt 12 AH batteries.
That will make 24 volts @ 24 Amp Hours.
Next, I need one of those spread spectrum 2.4 ghz , 6 channel radios.
Hows your plastic tank going? I dont know how you do it in a cold
garage!!
