[TANKS] Re: Survey time!

[Buck Cronk]

I took your survey. This business of yours sounds interesting--good luck! 
Don't be afraid to charge $5000 or more for a good 1:6 scale tank--but 
then, you're be more qualified to put a price on it than I am. Again, good 
luck!

[Buck Cronk]

I forgot the staples in my diagram... they also help hold the belt and the 
pad together. Neil, I considered the "sandwich," but I didn't want to end 
up with something very thick and heavy. If these tracks do fail 
prematurely, though, I'll definitely reconsider!

[Buck Cronk]

I've attached a diagram of the track. Thanks for the support! I'll keep 
working on it, and hopefully finish it someday. I'm located pretty far away 
from the rest of you, I think, and without sufficient means to join in any 
battles. If the sport grows enough, or I move, maybe I can participate 
sometime. I do wish I could start over, but how else am I supposed to 
learn? I feel like I've learned a lot from it already, and I'm just getting 
started. Thanks, again!

Also, Mr. Tyng, all the material was obtained in an appropriate and legal 
manner :)

Can't wait for the T-54, really. I just like how it looks.

I also intend to go for those Chinese tanks such as the 59-16, WZ-131,
T-34-1, and T-34-2

Isaac, I'll be happy to look up your clan, but I don't really intend to
join one for now. :)

Re: [TANKS] Re: Hey guys!

[Buck Cronk]

My highest tier is 7. I have a T-43, and hopefully will soon have the IS. I
really don't like the T-43, since it seems like a T-34-85 (Which I've
already played a ton) but way worse. I'm really looking forward to the T-54
and T-62a! I don't know much about that T-44, but I'm really glad to hear
that it has the potential to be a favorite.

[TANKS] Hey guys!

[Buck Cronk]

I haven't even looked at this forum in the longest time! I just wanted to 
let you know I haven't abandoned my tank, and especially not my passion for 
tanks. I also wanted to ask a few questions.

First of all, my tank. It's still under construction. It has been for 
months and months. It will be for months and months. I'll post pictures 
when and if I get to the "rolling chassis" phase. But it's still a work in 
progress!

Now for those questions. Do any of you play World of Tanks? I know Steve 
Tyng did/does. (If you haven't heard of it, it's definitely worth a Google 
search.) If so, I'd love it if you'd leave your username, please! Mine is 
Spitfire155.

I play tanks on my new computer, and I'd like to thank Steve Tyng and the 
others again for their input when I was building it. :)

Glad to see this hobby still going!

You've gotten this message because you're on my list of people who might

I've also deleted my Facebook account. This is all part of my trying to
leave a smaller footprint on the Internet.

Yeah, it's kind of a benefit but kind of too bad that there's pretty much
no soldering any more However, it's probably more of a challenge than
ever to match parts to end up with what you wanted.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211603

Does this look adequate? It and the monitor you suggested drive the price
up to $1026, but it looks like a worthy enough cause to me. So, if this
will work with everything, do I need to find a different case? I didn't see
anything about 2.5" drive bays

Oh, and Dell is one of my favorite brands. I like the price on the first,
so I'll probably use it! Thanks!

Re: [TANKS] Is anyone smarter than a high school freshman?

[Buck Cronk]

Thank you so much! This does help a lot. I don't plan on overclocking, and
thanks for the advice on the SSD and monitor. I can probably get them right
away as I don't think upgrading will be worth it for a while (under my
circumstances.) And I think it's nice you noticed all the parts had good
reviews. That's what I was looking for, and I kinda stayed away from
unfamiliar brands and products without reviews. For example, I found what
looked like a very good graphics card for the money--but there were no
reviews and it just seemed too good to be true

So thanks a lot!

I didn't know that, I guess. It should be on the website then, which I

Re: [TANKS] Is anyone smarter than a high school freshman?

[Buck Cronk]

Probably a good idea. However, if someone else built this thing for me it'd
be missing the point. I do have some real life resources that I may be able
to talk to. There's the guy who works on the computers at our tiny school,
who I've consulted about a robotics project, and also a guy living just a
few miles away who is opening a computer store. :) But yes, if "the point"
for you doesn't include actually building the machine yourself, that seems
a pretty safe path to take.

T005 is the fifth tank on the tank index at rctankcombat.com. Tank number
five. If I remember correctly, it's a T34/85 owned by Steve Tyng.

Re: [TANKS] My T34/85

Newegg is where I've been looking for most of my parts... and I am doing
some research online about building your own computer. This is off-topic,
but I need a place to start and if any of you can tell me whether the parts
list I'm making will work, then I need that. I guess I need to get on one
of those computer build forums, but I don't know if I'll ever find a forum
as nice as this one. :)

Re: [TANKS] My T34/85

[Buck Cronk]

Thanks guys. "Return idlers" was the word I was looking for. I think I'll
stick to the tank. But since I live way out where I do, don't expect me
coming around for any battles. Besides, I'm not sure my very first tank is
going to turn out too well--if I get to battle with any of you I want it to
be with a second tank already. :) I saw the (what's his name?) two latest
tanks made by the same guy that were really cool. That's what I want to
build like.

Hey, have any of you built your own computer before? Just an idea in my
head, but if you have I am currently putting together a parts list to go
from someday. And buying computer parts right is probably the hardest part.

Re: [TANKS] My T34/85

[Buck Cronk]

I don't think I'll be building any of those suggestions, Dave... it seems
at least the M18 is different. A quick Google search turned up a picture of
an M18 with little idlers (what are they called?) strung out above the road
wheels. If I make a tank it'll probably be the T34. Thanks, though!

Re: [TANKS] My T34/85

[Buck Cronk]

I know about these options and risks, and I did some more thinking (before
reading this) and decided I might still go with a turret! One, it has
certain advantages; two, my dad is the type that likes to finish what he
starts and not go off course like that. :) See you and thx

[TANKS] My T34/85

[Buck Cronk]

might not end up being a T/34/85. I did some research. Turns out (and I'm
sure all of you experts have known this since you were 3) that the SU100
uses the same chassis. I just might decide to turn around and make an SU100
for (hopefully) greater ease of building. Tell me what you think! Oh, and
my unnecessary worry about too many T34/85s will then be completely dashed.
Even though I probably will never even meet another *tank *on the
battlefield! Not that I live in the middle of nowhere, but you can see it
from my back porch.

Re: [TANKS] My friend Kurt

[Buck Cronk]

I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you don't go through too much pain. Treasure
your memories of him. I wish I could have met him. As a side note, I have a
280z that was sitting out in the woods... I dragged it into the shop to see
what I could do... but of course parts are awfully expensive, the only
thing that could work on the car is the engine, it needs a new body,
probably even a new frame. They weren't very good when it came to resisting
rust. So now it sits out by our old combine and three old Ford Couriers my
dad likes. :(   The worst part is, if it had been restored, after all that
cost I couldn't drive it anywhere. I'd have to just take it to car shows,
do a little run around, keep it off the dirt roads we live on. Very cool
car, though. It was similar to the 240z, I think... condolences.

Cool. Exactly what I was thinking they were. But the issue over ammunition
needs to be cleared up. For safety purposes, someone with time should test
different systems and pick the best/safest for everyone to use. And
somebody ought to make at least one of these, for the sake of not having a
blank web page.

Re: [TANKS] Re: Rules of engagement

[Buck Cronk]

I don't think there's a speed limit. I read somewhere that no one has found
a drive system that offers much extra speed (or something to that effect;
it mentioned transmissions), and even if they did that everyone would have
the same setup for the next battle.

Re: [TANKS] Machine guns

[Buck Cronk]

Agreed, Doug. Airsoft BB's aren't the same as paintballs. They would work
perfectly as they would not be expensive to install, they would carry
plenty of ammo (suggestion: limits for Airsoft ammo in the possible future
could be whatever you can fit in your tank!), and they would make for lots
more realism. Isn't that what we want to go for? I mean, the majority of
tanks ever built carry one or more machine guns. Some used a MG for the
main weapon. I say, go for what works in reality, and apply it to RC tanks.
We can't use real machine guns, of course, so scale it down to Airsoft and
there you go. We've already scaled down main guns to paintball guns, so
it's the same idea. Now how about smoke grenade launchers...???

Re: [TANKS] New inadvertent camo job

[Buck Cronk]

Whew That was really close. Just think of what it could've been
like if your entire workshop had burned down with your tools and the tanks
you put so much work into... and whatever else was in there. Great to hear
it was no big deal. And too bad the camo job didn't cover the whole tank
like that (but then the fire probably would've done more than a paint job).
Oh well.

Re: [TANKS] anyone own a copy of this?

Looks like lots of detail. I would get it if I had built or was building a
Tiger. Or maybe even if I wasn't.

Re: [TANKS] Re: I say we do allow....

[Buck Cronk]

Hey, this topic must be pretty controversial. Huge number of posts now.
Today I played WoT, which I don't get to do very often because our computer
graphics card is pretty much obsolete. My cousin and her husband came to
visit and he's got a laptop he showed me the game on. I already knew about
the game, yes, but I finally got to try it. And he has a premium account
with no tank shortage.

Re: [TANKS] Re: I say we do allow....

Great idea. Even WoT makes earlier tanks slower with less powerful guns and
stuff, yet horribly obsolete stuff in that game has a decent chance.

Good idea, Mr. Tyng. And Mr. Freeman, you also are right. Perhaps one could
edit the WoT list to eliminate tanks too farfetched from the hobby?
