This will replace Bad Kitty’s tracks and be for the upcoming T-72. The plan is to mount plastic tread pads to the #50 attachment chain I have. All told, I’ll probably need 250-300 pads in two different widths. Up to now, I had planned to go the tried-and-true Smooth-On casting method. I’ve never done any plastic casting, but I understand the process and I know I can get help from others who have cast their tracks. Ever since the RoboFest in Linthicum last April, however, I’ve been wondering if I could produce these things on the Makerbot Thing-O-Matic I saw demonstrated there. I don’t have any experience with 3d printers or their products. The Thing-O-Matic uses ABS plastic and produce parts the required size and thickness. Has anyone ever used one ? Would the parts be strong enough for tank treads ? Again, they’ll be mounted to roller chain, so they wouldn’t need to stand up to the stresses of a driven sprocket directly. Any personal experiences to share ? Thoughts ? Thanks, Doug -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

Re: [TANKS] Re: World of tanks-best battle ever
Excellent work... Now get that junk you call a tank running Kurt (I need to shoot something)G -Original Message- From: Cobra Sent: Sunday, September 11, 2011 1:27 PM To: R/C Tank Combat Subject: [TANKS] Re: World of tanks-best battle ever I was running with my T84 (tier 3 US TD) when I started a game in Earlinberg(?), the map with the town in the middle and the train depot to the East side. I had to leave the computer to chase one my kids while the game was counting down to start and caame back after a minute or so had already expired in the game. So, as a late arrival to my team, who was already losing 3-7, I set off and immediatly got hit taking my life down to 10% or so. I had the 75mm howi as my gun and promptly one shot killed the other guy. I then snuck up on another enemy's rear end and one shot killed him. After I rounded a corner I came face to face with anothe T84 and I got off a quick shot taking him down to near death. Soon he fired back but some how missed from only 30 meters or so away. After waiting the 15 seconds or so for the reload I put a shot in to finnish him off. In the street I saw an SPG runn for cover behind a building. I followed and shot and killed from the rear. By this time my team was down to 3 and them to 6. I spoted a German Bison in a bush at the end of the street and took it to 20% with one shot, as I waited for the deadly return from the SPG, I saw the shot fly barely over my head. One more shot put him out and I pushed north to the capture zone. A PzII was camping in the open trading shots with a M3 stuart from my team at short distance, so I killed him with 2 shots to his flanks. Suddenly the M3 blew up as the last enemy form thier team peaked round the corner and finished off the Stuart. We were both the last on our teams at this point and I scored a perfect shot as he tried anothe peek-a-boo shot from around a building, but his shell went wide. Since my relod time was slower I hid behind the husk of the dead PzII as this last Pz38t missed me and instead hit my cover. I swung out and shot his drive sproket and tracked him in just a shot that left a small portion for me to hit, but no line of sight for him to get a shot off on me. I waited for the reload and delivered the death shot to the sitting duck for the win. That was 7 kills for a Top Gun award as well as Sniper for 12 perfect shots. Not bad for a tier 3, eh? In the enemy's defence it was a tier 1,2, and 3 battle with me near the top of my team's list. But, going on a 7 kill streak without getting 1 hit between kills is impressive to myself.

Bright outer shell on the paintballs is a definite advantage. My order had a green outer shell, not the orange I had ordered. Could not see a thing going down range. In the following battles I laced some bright pink and orange through the supply. Much like tracer rounds. Helped , but just not what was needed. 4.I definitely like being mobile. I'll be editing the 1.5 hours of video over the coming days. John "the Elder" Pittelli -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

This is aimed at all nations not just the UK. I wish to start a new hobby , just like this hobby of Franks ( following most of Franks rules ) ,only the tanks aren’t rc , you build your tank and sit in it ,driving it about the battlefield yourself , this new hobby can still have SV`s and FA just like Franks hobby. I think this larger scale hobby will be of more interest to different groups like 4wd off road clubs and such, clubs that are full of mechanics and engineers. Taking away the rc element will make the hobby less geeky and more `fun` . I hope nobody is too offended by my comments here , I don’t wish to offend. I have no wish to enforce any sort of rules like `it has to be to scale` or it has to be modelled on a real and produced vehicle. I want anyone to build any design or size of tank / asset they wish. Its just got to be able to drive the occupant(s) over the battle field and fire one paintball at a time. With the obvious exception regarding the use of internal combustion engines ,all other rc tank combat rules can apply for me. These tanks could even be battled on standard paintball sites against standard paintballers , if a number of small targets are positioned around the tank that all have to be hit before the tank can be clamed `out` the possibilities are vast. I expect some new rules will have to be dreamed up to cover safety . These vehicles can be driven onto low level trailers or even onto pickup trucks and driven to battle fields when and where ever possible. So guys what does anybody think ? Im gonna start one anyway . --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

In conjuction with Tyng Industries, built the Goer supply vehicle. Current project is a commissioned (cash payment) vehicle for the Alliance of Las Vegas. The Brummbar will include the most up to date (guinea pig) systems to be used in our hobby. So, pick a vehicle,decide what esoteric components you would like to have,re: smoke generator, laser sight, remote video cam for realistic fog of war battling, or low friction paint to reduce ball breakage. MAG Industries will then price your special vehicle. Production will commence upon receipt of the non-refundable 50% deposit. For an extra fee the vehicle will be delivered to your doorstep, along with a tech to walk you through the basic operations. No warranties or guarantees are implied or given due to the fact that MAG Industries just does not do dat. Hope this helps. By the way, I am totally affiliated with the above organization and would have a vested interest in any and all financial transactions . LOL. Welcome to the group.

[TANKS] Re: Time to introduce myself
Jason, Welcome to the next consuming hobby.I am in Vegas and am currently having T012 (SdKfz 166 Brummbar) refitted by John P in Maryland Hope to have it back here after this summer.. If you check with local Gyms and/or gym equipment repair businesses, you should be able to get free treadmill belt that they replace, for the TTS.. I have been trying (with little luck) to build a Comet BUT, life and work keep getting in the wayMAG (Maryland Attack Group) and myself are working out this deal to further MAG's domination of the continental United States Long Live the Alliance, Kurt (Desert Dog) G --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

[TANKS] Re: T-12 Conversion
Gentlemen, After intense negotiations between MAG and Desert One, it was determined that it is in the best interest of the Alliance to KISS(Keep It Simple Stupid).. The Brummbar would meet the specifications outlined by the Desert Nomads the bestIt had to be operable and servicable in the harshest of desert climates and by the dumbest, least talented, most technically challenged of Tanker (me)...Much like the design criteria of an AK47But much better executed by the conglomerate known as MAG...
