The model is RC’d by removing all of the stock electronics and installing a 1/18 scale Side-Winder Micro speed control by Castle Creations. Any of these various type speed controllers will work. I also added a Futaba 75 mghz radio receiver, with the aerial coiled under the deck plate. Power is from a standard 9v battery, installed in one of the gas tanks, as there is no room for our typical 7.2v nicads. Running time is about 30 mins before the battery needs to be replaced.The following pictures show the finished model on a diorama built for picture taking background.
