is asset will qualify as a "four hit tank" with the
frontal hit exclusion. The obvious large bore will allow it to carry
40 rounds of ammo in it's magazine.

It would be extremely cool, but alas it was a prototype that was never
completed. Would classify as a tank, but against the rules since it was
only a prototype. I'm sure if you built it someone would be willing to
shoot paint at it;)

Yes, I built one years ago. It was transformed into the Flak 88mm. It

Hey,
Anyone ever considered making one of these... Would it qualify as a tank?
It kind of looks like the Bismark with tracks on it.
I just wonder if there would be a battle field big enough for it? Makes the

the real (read: only) benefit to power windows (apart from curing
laziness) is the auto-up/auto-down, much more convenient, and safer

By the way, since I am new to this hobby, can fixed artillery (eg. "88mm")
use direct wired control without using a TX/RC device?

Some lessons from the School of Hard Knocks:
1. Disassemble and assemble over a large flat surface. There are some
small pieces that are easy to drop and lose. A table saw makes a very
poor workbench for this project, even more so if there is an inch of
sawdust under it.
2. When you remove the

A hacked servo as a rotate motor would probably only work if you have a
very large (ie. expensive) servo. A cheap, powerful motor, with two

Polystyrene is a nice material that I've worked with in the past. But
personally I have no desire to build artillery, as there is little
incentive to do so. I think the Kysosho would make a nice platform
either for robotics or for smaller scale tanks that have the same
functionality as the tamiya
