Good idea to build the tank so the hydrolic system ( powered by a petrol engine ) can be replace with an electric system with a generator ( powered by a petrol engine ) to feed 2 electric motor on 110v. It even seem easier to build that way as its pretty factory made. In your hand you got 2 dimmer with reverse polarity switches. Maybe dryer motor would do, I have to think about it, it seem to easy... Umm I think AC motor cannot have their polarity reversed, Im I right on that? It remind me the 'Elephant' JagTiger was powered that way, umm... Guy
