Thanks! Yeah I've been debating on the body. I love the skeleton look, but it would look great with some kind of body work. Sturmpanzerwagen.... yes....

But this thing has a heck of a lot of heat, flames shoot out of the boiler firebox frequently, so it would need to be metal.... plus the fire needs a lot of ventilation. I've experimented with just covering the boiler slightly with some sheet metal, and the fire would not go as hot. Lots to think about.

In the mean time, I've made the son of the steam tank, sorry it's not rc, it just goes forward
