Looks nice, Chrys! Crazy how you manage to build your vehicles so fast!

The upper hull and turret are only painted with a Khaki primer. IT's kind of oversized for a 1:6th, and I doubt she'll ever be armed with a 0.40 marker, really, but the test results are as follows: 12 Kgrs heavy, 25 cm diam. wheels, two 18 V 960 DeWalt drills, plenty of torque and speed about 20 kms/h. Note that this grass is kind of slippery and still traction is perfect. WIth the 1:6th scale, 20 cm diam, wheels you'd have monster torque and the battling speed you need (though this can be adjusted on digital RCs). Enjoy! The desert Rat blends nicely with the landscape. http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s30/ChrysKane/DAIMLER%201%206TH/?action=view¤t=P3240220.flv http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s30/ChrysKane/DAIMLER%201%206TH/?action=view¤t=P3240221.flv more videos, with drfits, later.

Good choice, with the 75 mm gun on it and real, pneumatic or semi-pneumatic 20 cm diam. wheels. http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?UID=2009032415393501&item=1-2686&catna me=wheels Keep it below 20 kgrs and should be able to run it very nicely with two 18 volt drills. Wheeled vehicles are much cheaper and less time consuming to build and with a rotating turret they should battle fine . On the other hand their steering system is harder to build, because they require delicate parts and monster servos that you may damage if you hit a rock or anything rigid. With a tank you have teh traction on tall grass but also the illusion that you steer *simply* by switching off power to one of the tracks Chrys - Original Message - From: "Derek Engelhaupt" To: Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 2009 9:10 PM Subject: [TANKS] Re: Daimler tests > > Nice!
