hi everyone

so Ive had this idea for awhile to make my own tank platform to carry a small security cam. I originally started off with a Hen long panther tank and traveled my yard to the neighbors 2 houses down and would shoot my friend with bbs . I dont have the tank anymore..... no my neighbor didn't break it in anger I traded it for a flight simulator.
now the plan is to use this old toy and make a tank that is built for roaming around my home and outside with left and right up and down cam view.

im having trouble trying to find a way to make this all work, I have a idea of how this toys tranny would work but maybe you guys can help me come up with a better way.
here are some pics (forgive me as they are bad quality)



this pic is the base, one motor on the top has gears going down to the main shaft that connects to the drum.




this is the drum, it has layers. the way the model initially would work is only with a throttle (pistol grip with just the finger portion..... very cruddy, knew this when I was young also! haha) holding down forward, again turns to the right until you let off then straight, then hold again to the right until you let off and so on....

I need to make it work with a airplane radio, right now I would like the left stick to control forward left right revers and the right to control me camera positioning if possible (4 or 8 channel?)



rubber tracks around 4 inch long
so I guess you can say I want to ditch the current drive and replace it with something better.

hope you guys can help.

Mike
