Here's some nice detail on the Locust design and construction.  

http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reviews/vehicles/bronco/cb35162d01.html

If I were to build this, I think I'd go with just a limited traverse on the 
turret.  A full 360 might be difficult.  An option would be no traverse and 
run it as a TD (the Frank P. method ;-).

They do look interesting, and the price is right.  Maybe I'll pick some up for 
testing.  What would be the best way to reduce the rpms? As big as a reduction 
as I can get between the motor and drive shaft, or a transmission like those 
used for EV Warriors?
