[TANKS] Re: about time I got off my butt and started working on my tanks again
Very nice build! I've been looking at that tank for quite a while thinking to make it the next project after the Merkava. Looks like someone beat me to it! :) Though if it was me, I would put in a simple elevate system instead of trying to reproduce the tilting suspension system. Thought it would be neat to see a model with the full size's suspension. :) That tank is every lowrider's dream vehicle. Heh.

The motors are http://secure.oatleyelectronics.com//product_info.php?cPath=53&products_id=192 , slightly over the required speed but what the hey, speed is good, I have a C6C mod 1, which will work for the short term, but I intend for it to be run WIFI like a tiger and Hummer we have all seen (yes I will try to pouch technology).

They look pretty big and pre-geared. Any specs?
