Hopefully this may help some of you folks who don't know of it.

Other than articles in magazines regrading specific projects there's only been one author who has specifically written about
RC tanks.

Sorry but the books I'm about to cite are written in German; not too bad if you can read the language. My German isn't very good but I can muddle
through and get enough information to get started. Pretty good photos.

The author has several different titles related to tracked vehicles now it seems but the one I'm familiar with is a very generalized
treatise on the subject; doesn't focus on one type or scale. It's been out many years and has been revised several times.
I have 2 or 3 revisions myself but I'm not familiar at all with the latest.

At least look up the author on line; he's written other modelling related titles as well.

Title - "Ketten- und Sonderkraftfahrzeuge "

Author - Gerhard O. W. Fischer

ISBN-10: 3788321172
ISBN-13: 978-3788321178

http://www.amazon.de/KettenSonderkra...143246&sr=1-11

His title "Der Einstieg in den RC-Panzermodellbau: Vom Fertigmodell bis zur Eigenkonstruktion"
ISBN-10: 3881804285
ISBN-13: 978-3881804288
( Getting started in RC tank model construction:
from the finished model up to the in-house construction ) looks interesting. Too bad someone hasn't translated that one into English. I may just buy
that one to see it...
