Re: [TANKS] Re: I'll float this idea again...

Message received... It's time to put my money where my mouth is... I guess I tend to over-think situations, could ya tell? I still stand by my basic premise...BUT I just have to get down to building, have fun making the tank, and go from there. Thanks all for your input. Dave D. - Original

Re: [TANKS] Re: I'll float this idea again...

It's not about "courage" ... it's about "hard work". Build a working tank, battle it somewhere, and then start re-writing the rules. If you can convince a majority of veteran battlers (i.e., those who have battled more than once) to change the rules, they will be changed. "More work, less wh

Re: [TANKS] Re: I'll float this idea again...

I build to the 1/6th scale standard because there are a ton of accessories in 1/6th scale. Since there have been no battles in my area and I've been out of the country, my tanks are mainly for my enjoyment (and showing off my building skills to everyone who thinks I'm just a computer geek). :) Dere

[TANKS] Re: I'll float this idea again...

Dave D , I think Frank realizes that a large tank is easier to hit than a small tank . the point is its not as big a factor as you would think. look at the following foto. http://rctankcombat.com/tanks/T055/14-large.jpg T051 is 3 foot long , T055 is 2 foot 2 inchs long. now look at the stats for

Re: [TANKS] Re: I'll float this idea again...

I have say that I built a Stug because I like the tank and not because I thought it was going to be a real killer out there. I found that after playing the game that it did not matter what tank I was shooting at or what size it was. I could't hit it anyway. Bob It's all about having fun. Sent f

No, but it got me thinking crazy, maybe a AMX13 would be a fun build. Not great for armour, but a small target ;-) Stewart On Sep 22, 1:30 am, odysseyslipw...@aol.com wrote: > _Click  here: Airfix 1762 1/32 ABBOT S.P.Gun | eBay_ > (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Airfix-1762-1-32-ABBOT-S-P-Gun-/22085943

[TANKS] Re: I'll float this idea again...

I think the thing to remember is that the reason we build is not have perfect machine optimized to the max in every area, but rather because we love TANKS, PAINTBALL, and RC TOYS. Build what you love and you will be happy.. Build what has the best possible combination of size, armor, and firepower

Re: [TANKS] Re: I'll float this idea again...

Hey Frank, I hate to burst your bubble, but 4 tanks does not make a meaningful statistical analysis... 400 tanks might. And there's virtually nothing that's scientific regarding grown men chasing each other around with remote controlled vehicles, LOL... You're the big proponent of "common sens

I started the build about 3 months before I went to Kandahar. Took roughly 2 months to get it to that point. I haven't had anytime to work on my tanks in the last 18 months since I'm still working on Kandahar Airfield. I'm home right now in Austin for some R&R and to take a Cisco certification c

Re: [TANKS] Re: I'll float this idea again...

 All this talk about smaller tanks has me wondering if I shouldn't scrap the Merkava IV build and restart with something smaller.  The Merkava is built to 1/6th scale which makes it 53" long by 28" wide by 18" tall.  Compared to something that is only 36" long, the Merkava has 67% more target ar
