RE: Gaz powered tank??

I recall seeing several gas powered 1/6 scale tanks over the past several years.

One guy offered a full metal 1/6 M5 Stuart, but I'm not sure if he's still selling those.

It would seem that...

RE: Please see my steel tracks of 1/8

Sounds like that was a lot of fun. Have you restored the Weasel? I'd like to see pictures of that.

RE: Is this forum only for 1/16 scale now? no 1/8 or 1/6

Yeah, I'd love to see more 1/8, 1/6 owners showing what they're doing with their tanks.

By the way, just my opinion, but the 1/16 HL folks don't have a monopoly on problems. While HL may have...

RE: what do you think of this 1/8 full metal sherman m4a3

Yan and Vollenc: Thanks for the information on the 1/8 tanks from Tankmodel.com

Personally, I like the Sherman and other, older models -- they seem, like me, getting more and more ancient.

1. Thanks, I'll check the motor mounts to make sure they're still secure. But from the looks of it (quick inspection), they seem to be tight.

RE: Snow and Tiger tanks = BAD?

All very good advice!

I need to "cold soak" mine for about 30 min before taking it through snow. Otherwise, the warmer tracks, road wheels, and esp the idlers, will melt the colder snow, then...

RE: Bullet hole tutorial

I fired BBs at miine from a distance of about 15 ft. to attain the .50 strikes.

For RPG near misses, I used a dremel tool with a conical tool.

Can you tell us who manufacture's the tank?

How much did you pay for it?

What kind of motor(s) and ESC?

What powers it?

RE: Panther in the snow

This is great advice.

"Cold soak" or acclimate to the ambient temps is essential to good running at extreme temps.
