I would also would like to know where to find them? i think part of that would depend on your building skills. you could spend a few extra dollars and buy a set of motors that are geared down all ready and just have to be bolted down into your tank. or if you think that is too much, you could buy just a set of reversible scooter motors and build your own set of trany's either using belts/pulleys or chain/sprockets. (but this may be as much if not more costly as just buying the geared motors) i think a few have even used angled drill's and just chucking them onto the drive axles. then there are the kiddy car motor and gear set-ups. (have heard they are pretty slow) i can't think of any other types of motor arrangements to choose from. if you can find them at a affordable price, i'd say go with the geared motors like the M-01's (or what ever some of these guys in here use) as it's one less thing to fiddle with in your first build Chris, _Odyssey Slipways_ (http://hometown.aol.com/odysseyslipways/index.html) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

Mike, $60 for the pair and whatever the cost to ship. If that sounds good , send me your address to jpl...@yahoo.com. I'll find out the cost and give you the total.

[TANKS] Re: The Pro's and Con's of kits
HI Alex I personnally own an FOA Tiger, it is very strong once build. I have use left over ABS pieces to add some support ( 45 degree ) at many places, when you put the pieces together it seem a fragile tank, but once all is well glued together you cannot move a thing. I have not motorized it yet, the result Tiger is way to cute to decide myself to go run it in the wild and scratch the paint. I have build with metal sheet ( 16 gage ) a Tiger to wich I added motors, that one is open to any ramming, pushing, scratching. To see what it look like you can look at the Panzer III I build the same way that is T050. This said, I have the chance to have some metal working tools. In your case I would suggest that you found a 1/6 Panther kit in metal from ( Battle Ready Armor ), look at T072 for an example, its about the same price than the FOA Tiger, but all in 20 gage metal, build together with "pop-rivets" or you can weld it for added strengh. The kit being in metal make it easy to weld ( 45 degree ) at the floor-wall joint of the floor and have a sturdy base for the motors and battery. They come with the same ABS type of track than the FOA Tiger, wich seem to be lot stronger than it look like. I have not had the chance to get of BRA Panther yet, but I will wonder if the Panther once build is to cute to feel like R/C it in the wild :) Greg.

My son has a fully fitted out workshop for shop fitting and detailed joinery but my last attempt to go in there and start a tank (a T34 i got as far as cutting the templates) resulted in me being hositalised for 10 days from the fumes and dust so I want to take a short cut and stay away from as much dust and fumes as possible and build something in my garage. so f anyone has built one of these kits and usefull information you would have would be great Alex _ Internet explorer 8 lets you browse the web faster. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9655582 --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

Forgot to mention... you can buy respisrator masks at Lowes, Home Despot, etc that are rated for organic solvents and other evil chemistry...

Just a thought on the wood shop... turning on the dust collector system should reduce your breathing difficulties. Seriously, I blew it off until I started having to live in a respirator while power sanding. Now I fake it with a shop-vac system until I get a proper system installed, but if you son has a good shop, he should be way ahead of me. -- Clark in Georgia, Commissar of the Red Banner Southern Fleet "We will pass through the American patrols, past their sonar nets, and lay off their largest city, and listen to their rock and roll... while we conduct missile drills." --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
