I *owned* one not too long ago. I just got done selling it for parts. I
was running it in the
snow last year and split one of the drive sprockets in half. Personally I
wouldn't bother
due to the fact you will end up fixing it all the time. The tracks seem to
be fine for it's
intended use, but

That's a 20oz. CO2 bottle in there. I don't think I'll have any issues
getting
everything to fit inside. ;)

It shows on my motor that the brake assembly (now removed) is rated for 24V,
but it says the motor is rated for 12V. I'll probably just run it at 12V to
be on
the safe side. Got distracted tonight, my new PC parts came in to replace
my
5 year old PC so I spent the majority of the night putting
a lot to do, but it's coming
along
very quickly.

Well, since I told Frank I was too busy to finish getting my designation for
the M113 in order
I thought I would share what I was doing this weekend. My Type 1 PVC sheets
in 1/4 and 1/2
arrived on Friday so I sat down Friday night for about two hours and drafted
some plans on my
office type desk

Hooah!
Where did you get the rotate assembly?
Looks like that ¼” bends fairly easily, or do I spy some burn marks?

of beams/bracers across that would connect the walls together on top, right
under the ceiling/deck, so I don't have to worry about this beauty.

I really don't think it would be that hard to build, but it would be more
expensive *if*
both sections were powered. They could be built as two tanks hooked
together in
the middle. Steering that on the other hand might take some getting used to
and
could be a little unpredictable. You
Or canary yellow;) Good looking tank. Has some very Abrams like design
cues and
seems to share the same type of smooth bore gun.

I know you have been lurking for sometime, but I still find it much easier
to get a tank
running than a wheeled vehicle. Something having to do with all those A
arms and CV
joints combined with steering;) Having said that, I do plan on making a
wheeled
vehicle sometime.

I like that, up the swanny. At least that's what I think he said ;)
It's looking good though.
I have found that the springs on my tanks are REALLY stiff, but when all the
weight is applied
they work well. Good luck with the new speed controller. Buy some red
electrical tape and

My RS80D when up in sparks and bright lights, don't feel too bad;)
Still not sure what happened there though since it was hooked up
correctly.
