Re: [TANKS] 1:6 all up weight?
My Sturmtiger weighs in at around 120lbs. I can pick it up, but can't get it up to shelf height. I needed it out of the way the other night so I pulled out the ATV ramps and strapped them to the bench. I put the batteries in and fired the tank up. I was actually amazed at how easy it climbed up the 30 degree angle. Derek T065 On Sat, Dec 19, 2009 at 10:15 AM, Spitbraaicatering nap...@icon.co.zawrote: Whoops...

RE: [TANKS] Re: 1:6 all up weight?
T067 weighs in at about 80kg currently, perhaps another 5kg or so to add yet. I am about to make an M113 out of steel and by my calcs with 2mm steel it will not be anywhere near 100kg. Of course it will only be 75cm long, wont have a turret. If you went for a 1/6 Abrams or similar large vehicle then I guess you could hit 100kg easily.

Re: [TANKS] Re: 1:6 all up weight?
Since I have PVC left over, I was going to rebuild the hull of my M113 out of PVC. Although the whole thing will probably be 1/2 PVC due to the fact that's all I have left. It will increase the weight somewhat, but the 450W motors are more than up the task to power it. I should get the scale out and see what the KV-2 is weighing at this point. I'm putting the new metal lathe to work turning the sprocket hubs down to decrease weight and add some detail to the face of them.
