Pretty nice Hellcats there Frank. 
What a cool tank too. Not great for an RC battlefield as they are a light tank but cool as heck to look at and drive too!

Gosh darn it, my (ex yours) Hellcat is no longer one of a pair 
Oh well, we need more variety on the field, so its all good
(I think I still have a couple extra return rollers if you need them - found one today while cleaning out the flat, must have the other somewhere...
)
The light tank is very much a niche role - but it can be devastating in the right hands when used as part of an organised team.
Tho I do remember taking my M41 to Danville, setting up in a quiet corner for the grand mele hoping for a few flank shots, and then have Jersey Bob walk up next to me, plonk his tiger down next to the Bulldog, and announce that I had 'the wrong tank for this fight' - needless to say it didn't end well...
(Hellcats were a Buick product, not Ford, btw
)

Anyone ever tried build a Chaffee from an M41? I'm interested in hearing ideas on the subject because that would be an awesome light tank project to give a try. the turret would most likely be the toughest job but doable i think.

Hi Panther G
I think the Chaffee's are generally based on the M26, rather than the M41, due to the tighter wheel spacing, you could use the M41 - just more work involved
This is one of Fynsdads efforts - up to his usual high standards.
