Hahaha...
Nah, its Too Cumbersome.
I'd rather have a Pop Up Remote Control 30 Cal Minigun mounted in the bed of my Pickup.
Set up with Head Tracking.
And a feature that when I look in the Review Mirrors it would pick that up and track to the Rear.

Alright got a new Tak Po T-2000 motor controller. It's like deja vu all over again. First off want to give credit to Patrick (manheader) Hobby Summit who sells the T-2000 and lots of other tank stuff on ebay. That one I got from him I had for well over a month until I tried it out. Well the thing never worked right and I sent back to him and he is going to be kind enough to send me a new one. Anyway I bought another T-2000 off ebay from a US seller. Anyway I am using a JR 10SX II PCM radio upgraded to 2.4 gig. T-2000 has a PCM adapter you install for a PCM. I went by instructions exactly. Press channel 2 button. Red light green light comes on. Move throttle stick forward until red light comes on. Move stick back green light comes on. Press channel 1 button. Red light green light. Move stick right, red light on. Move stick left, green light on. Now funny part controller set. Move stick forward. Tank goes left. Move stick back tank goes right. No forward or reverse. I tried every combination you can think of. Battery pack is a 3S 4,000mah. Tried a 12v gel cel motorcycle battery. Same stuff. Bottom dollar is if tank don't start by tomorrow to work right it goes up for sale as I have no time and need to get back on my Mig-21MF

henschel, you may want to consider this dual motor control ESC by Dimension Engineering called "Sabertooth". Here is the link. Easy to install and very robust.

Was wondering how I go about getting one of your turret pinions for my build? 
Here are some pics of the turret rotation motor/gearbox/gear and mount. Turret turns @ 5rpm. Looks like nice scale speed. Made the mount out of brass. Motor/gearbox is 6v with steel gears. Bought it off ebay for $10 shipped. I searched every hobby store in my area and on the net for a pinion gear to fit Panzer. No luck. So I made a gear myself. Took modelling clay and a brass tube to cut clay perfect circle. Then I rolled the clay around the ring gear for proper teeth spacing. Then I made a rtv silicone mold then cast it. Then I too jewelers files and finished up each tooth so it fit perfect. Then I make a final mold for the gear you see in pic and casted it out of Alumilite casting resin. So now if you guys need a pinion gear for the Dragon Panzer you know where to get one.

PM sent on gears. Tell you this controller is hacking me off. I am going to get it soon. Face it Chunwai tanks uses older T-2000, some 12v motors and same 12v 7ah battery pack.
