Re: [TANKS] Where is everyone?

[Caleb Smith]

I'm afraid the lack of battles is my fault. The Smith clan gave the Pitteli 
bag'o ruffians such a thrashing in that last event that they've been hiding in 
their basements ever since, refusing to fight. Sorry guys. 

On a side note, the Smith clan hasn't expanded its arsenal since last event. 
(with the lack of opposition why should we) The Locust still needs some 
driveline help. I tried switching to different motors for more torque but 
they're way too fast and need a lot of gearing down to be practical. Since then 
I've found that the reason the original motors were stalling often is they 
don't like the HobbyKing brushless controllers I was using. I tested them using 
a brushless scooter controller and the motors have loads more torque and don't 
stall. I just need to configure some kind of control interface since they're 
not RC controllers. Maybe I'll start another thread on that. So I'll be working 
on putting the old motors back in. 
The 25 pounder is still ready to defend the homeland. The Pak36 will probably 
be converted into some kind of turreted German naval gun as the Pak36 was too 
hard to fit and hide a lot of the stuff. 
Anyway, that's a little bit of what's going on. Looking back, I'm OK with not 
having any battles this year. The tank was in disrepair and time was limited. 
This year should be better plus I'll have a bigger budget to put towards gear.  
Hopefully we'll all see each other come spring and make more memories.
Don't stay up too late. ;)

What happened?! Nothing it's been dead this entire year...!

That's kind of very sad..!!

I hope we will get a battle this year at least!!...

On my side work slowly continue ..!! I will put out a video soon about the
footage I just made from my RSO artillery tractor snowplowing my entire
place..!!

T-60 light tank on the way(in the race of putting a paintball in the
smallest turret possible (without upscaling the turret?!!?) after the
success of my T-70 and the almost success of the Locust!!!)

Just got a 3d printer that will help a lot in that project..!!

I'm building the version 3 of the SU-76 track that, I'm hopping(!!),
will be the new standard in my builds...!!

In any case, I hope some other passionate like myself is at least working a
little on some projects???!!

If not I wish everyone an happy new year and some wonderful time with the
family and friends maybe some tank-ing

[TANKS] Where is everyone?

[taranaki tanker]

Been awhile since I have had a chance to look at the site cause of work and 
what not, and it looks dead. What's happened? OK I'll admit I haven't had much 
time to do anything with the m113 but is there no news or new builds happening?
