[TANKS] Re: For want of a nail
So that 1/8" aluminum plate is holding the thrust load from the ring gear? All sorts of loads going on and from all directions in that assembly. To bad there's not more meat around that aluminum casting to drill and tap a couple more holes. John, your turning into a first rate boffin!

[TANKS] Re: Stug III
Hi John, I'm hardly an old hand but I am happy to share. I'll upload the hull, suspension, and track drawings and post a link. One thing I HAVE learned (Frank, and others, re-iterated this until >I< got it), the more planning you do the better. If you click on the PDF it will open in adobe on your desktop. Hi Chris, I found the line drawing, bought a model, got the original specs, and scaled it out from there. I have no plans to make scale drawings of other tanks as it is a lot of work. The only reason I am doing the stug is because I am building one. :-) I have just started on the superstructure drawings so those will be a while before they are ready. If there is enough interest, I'll ask Frank and if he agrees, to add them to the "How To" section. -Cheers, Fred -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

[TANKS] Re: Stug III
Some caveats * You are welcome to use the documents with the realization that you accept 100% of the risk and responsibility for doing so. The author assumes no liability of any sort. These are NOT intended as a comprehensive guide to building a 1/6th scale r/c paintball tank. Checking the accuracy is up to you. * The document labeled "An alternative idea for road wheel bearing mount and suspension" is an idea for using two self-centering bearings mounted to the inside and outside of the hull wall with no internal rail mount for the inside bearing. This will put a sh*tload of strain on the hull wall and should only be considered if YOU build the hull strong enough to support this. * There is virtually no mention of construction material or a parts list. That would be entirely up to the would-be builder. * Suggestions welcome but don't take it personally if I don't act on it. It's not you. I'm just busy with my life. * Criticisms should be written down in ink on paper, folded neatly into a one inch square and swallowed whole and this too shall pass. :-) Cheers, Fred -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

The critical portion is the front angled area. Down force needs to be applied there to keep the plate and motor from separating. The attached U channel keeps the angle from sliding forward. Yes Greg, Das U Bolt is one of my favorite movies. LOL. Steve, thanks for the increase in grade to Boffin First Rate. Been a long time coming. To all who are celebrating the Labor Day weekend have a safe and enjoyable time. John"What is the pay grade for Boffin First Rate" P. -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

Cool. We have tanks in several towns fairly close to us.Sitting on concrete type deals.

[TANKS] Anyone heard of...
Anyone heard of Tanki Online? I discovered it in Miniclip.com, which I rarely visit nowadays. It's probably the best alternative I'll ever find to World of Tanks. My computer will run Tanki fine, but not WoT. :( -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
