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? -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.

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 ;-).

I know a good bit about brushless motors. I use them in my model boat.

Hellcat? The rules favor tiny fast turning tanks nowadays. For American, I'd look at the M22 Locust. In scale it's a smidgen over 2' and it's very low profile.

The Abrams is a cool tank. :) Would be neat to see one romping around like the real thing.
