Default RE: M-48 Patton conversion to RC Tank


ORIGINAL: blitzkrieg65

Update,

No video yet guys,, I found out that I could not drill through the cannon barrel so no cannon flash! But I have been working on making his spot light work as a spot light! This customer does not want to make this an IR Battle tank,, or that would have been a neat Idea pattoncommander to put the IR shot LED in there! It was a lot of little detail work in making the light but it came out pretty good! Also before I mounted it on the tank I went into the bathroom and closed the door turned the spotlight on and it lit up the bathroom so this tank might come in handy for a camping trip for the middle of the night trail guide!

I know this is a necropost but this is an update on this particular tank. The barrel which was solid has been replacd with a brass barrel and it now has a flash uit in it. YHR put together a sound file of the M-48. That is now on the way so it will have the DBRC3 and Benedini sound card in it. I'm trying to decide where t mount the IRreceiver. I need to mount it so the Commanders cupola doesn't block it. I would still like to figure out how to install suspension in the tank since it is fixed. I'll keep you all posted. Any ideas would be helpful.
