I have these modeled in 3D and can provide a file if that would help.

[neroc]

I think its now time to take the bull by the horns. No less than :-
Phil P ,Neil R ,Pete A (+2 others) are gonna be battling on either
August 7-8th or August 14-15th . it will probably be around
Manchester / South Cheshire way.
The next attendee to confirm will set the particular weekend as the
rest of us can currently do either weekend.
Accommodation is offered for the Saturday night at The Funky
Towers ,Stockport ,Manchester.

is slightly warmer." R

[TANKS] Re: ESC Query.

[Phil]

According to Google, 1HP = 745.699872 watts, so each of your motors is
producing 2,983 watts! What were you hoping to do, take off? :-)

I fear these might drain your battery a bit.

[TANKS] Re: The Next UK Battle

[Phil]

Hero? You say you want a hero? I'm sure I've got one somewhere.
Perhaps in the shed. Ah yes, there it is, under my swivel chair, but
it's not quite working yet. Have you got a split pin?

Seriously guys I'm up for combat weekends 24th July to 22 August.
Charlie's Wood is available but it'd be nice to go somewhere else.

Building-wise I've been installing the C6C into Hetzer T057.
Definitely a learning process which has taught me a lot about how r/c
works- I've managed to get round a mixing problem on Locust T055,
which uses a Futaba transmitter and Sabertooth but would only provide
75% of power if mixed through 1 stick- it produces 100% now.

The Hetzer now starts and runs faultlessly at about 3mph- good enough-
for 5-10 minutes, at which point it goes all sulky and sits at the
bottom of the garden making random track movements until you put it on
your mother-in-law's old shopping trolley and drag it back to the shed
for a rest. Sounds a bit like the problems Neil had with the Leopard
last time out. I'm checking connections and wondering about cooling
fans. I also need to finish installing the marker.

Ha ha !!

Pete isn`t a hero either. he`s more like the sort of person who sits
in a swivel chair drinking tea and saying things like, "oh yer ! I`ll
build/paint/organise/find out about that." then two weeks down the
line you find out hes done bugger all as usual ..
