It makes perfect sense to me.
I know exactly what you want to do, it's just a question of how. I
think what you'd need is a circle of metal all the way around for each
connection you want to make, and then some kind of electrically
connected wheel that rides on these. You'd actually want 3
I am pleased to report that the Tank Expo duly took place with a
number attending in person and 4 (Chris and myself from England; Marc
from The Netherlands; and Mike from South Korea) via skype and the
internet. Donuts were consumed and tanks in various states of undress
examined. Someone
i was just about to place an order at Tower Hobbies for another servo and
servo saver and they no longer carry the saver. i did a quick search on ebay
for
them DTXC2582 and found 2 new ones, so i grabbed them both.

I was a bit afraid when someone started to undress but at one point
but that was just one incident.
Luckily the rest kept their clothes on.
I look forward to seeing the sheep trebuchet in action.
We'll work that out. Where would you get 1/6 scale sheep?
Is that lamb size? And how about just

I'd found an electrical swivel that I thought would work, but it was
ultimately too expensive.

The closest thing I've seen to what you are describing is an older automotive
horn button part. Under the stearing wheels, there is a disc with a couple
circular tracks of copper that contacts ride on to allow the steering wheel to
spin freely without twisting horn wires. It would work I
I think the easiest way to do it is a second receiver and a second battery
in the turret,,,

What you are describing is a slip ring (I think). I think if you
search for it in the forum, there was some discussion of it before.
They can be very expensive but a low cost alternative was suggested.
I think there was a mention of a telephone handset cord swivel (back

Yes it is called a slip ring, and they are expensive.

The best and cheapest answer is, scale model railroad tracks. Hobby
stores sell flex rail in lengths of 3 feet and they are very flexible,
Even more so when you take the rails off the plastic.
You can use one rail as your common ground like on a car and for every
device you want to power you
The best and cheapest answer award goes to Will. Use wires

Just let the wires twist. How many times are you going rotate in the same
direction. The wires going too the turret are small gauge and can be twisted
many time with no problems.

Very to scale, just like your Mark/ Panzer IV . What made you switch from a
rotating turret to a self propelled gun? Caliper?
Also, the last return roller could become a compensating idler, with the
proper swing arm and spring.

Yup, slip rings are expensive. I've built a fair alternative using four
ball bearing assemblies, two for each circuit. Joe Sommer proposed using
copper clad board etched in a circular pattern, coupled with carbon motor
brushes. Of late I have been eyeballing a toy that my daughter has.
