[TANKS] Re: Recon video
sure seems to do well in the snow. how heavy is it? as to having it listed as a tank, i think it requires tracks. what about as one of them 6 wheeled armored cars or armored troop transports? might not give you the same armor as a tank.

I think it qualifies for designation as a Groundhog armored car.

Armored car please me. I dont know how heavy it is, I would guess 80 to 100 pounds, but I will get a more acurate mesure eventualy. I am still fine tuning it, every few hours I use it I improve something, but as armored car I will have to add a turret or rocket launcher on it, I will think about it.

While I can't give you a ruling, it's looks like a great little machine. How do you steer it and are all the wheels powered?

I have one PanzerIII T050, to battle if ever some battler spawn in my area, so was originally thinking to build a KingTiger, but turn the lower hull as a 6 wheeled Recon, just for the fun of running it around.

I plan to buy a new car soon, it will be choosed to accomodate a tank in the back to increase my battling range. I was wondering, as I fine tune this Recon. As its a 1/6 scale hull of KingTiger, but on wheels, would it be possible that I battle with it if I install a rotating turret with paintball gun on top of it? I build this vehicule with in mind the idea to replace the turret for anything else ( ex: robot arm ) as a multipurpose RC mobile base. Simply said, can we take liberty with our tank design? If not np, I can still use it as Recon and supply vehicule. Greg. Messenger has tons of new features that make chatting more fun. Click here to learn more.

Pictures Pictures?

To image it, suppose the tank track is just a chain, that bring the power to 3 wheels. that chain in this case is inside the tank and the drive is a bit more complicated because I builded an independant suspension for all the six wheels.
