The only practical solution for actually steering a car involves the use
of a strong servo/motor combination, a so-called jumbo servo, that
returns to center when you let go of the joystick. You can find at least
one commercial kit to build the electronics from Oatley. There are also

sorry to hear markers are so $$$ is the UK, here I found a set of 3
various guns for $50 US, plenty of people here are trying to get rid

Hello and welcome Andy.
There are many paintball equipment shops that will deliver to your
door. For the tanks I have built i have bought new markers because I
know that they havent been bashed around ,In my Leopard I use this
marker and have never had a problem with it:-

Well right now I have designed a very feasible homemade paintball gun with
recoil. The length of the piston relies on how much a scale gun recoil could
be. I will admit the design wasn't meant for my tank, but when I thought about
scale recoil I couldn't say no. I will post design when I can
On the Rc tank combat website there is a fairly well sized collection of

with few results. Now I may just not be searching the right thing, but why
doesn't someone start a channel {I think that is what it is called} on

The Mid-Atlantic Spring Battle will be held on June 12, 2011 in
Gettysburg, PA, a little north of the Maryland-PA state line. With lots
of recent upgrades by Tyng and Tri-Pact it promises to be an
interesting battle day (either the new stuff will work or not). So,
if you can be in the area

You can certainly rig a motor to move the steering rod, but the hard
part is getting it to move proportionally with the joystick and, more
importantly, return to center when you let go of the joystick. That's
what the jumbo servo circuit did, but it was old technology and they

See http://www.rctankcombat.com/articles/speed-control/ for a discussion
of various motor control solutions. The Tri-Pact Speed Control provides
on-off, tank-style control of two motors.
