Cruiser133, Thank for the kind words, please do not do that again! LOL.
Tip. Contact Daryl B. Turner on Facebook for hard to find Gepard plastic parts,
he may still have a stash of Gepard plastic parts, including the often broken gun barrels.
For both Tamiya Gerard builds, go to "
1/16 RC IR Tank Builds" on Facebook under Photos to see build photos for two Gepards.
• The second Gepard (8 Channel) uses a BARC System (unavailable now), aftermarket German sound card and a HL RX18 controller.
• The first Gepard (7 Channel) uses Tamiya JS2 DMD, MF Full Option Units with a Custom sound card.
• The turret and twin cannons are servo controlled, see below for an important setup part info.
• See all the build details and photos at my Facebook page.
Enjoy John
