I was planning to use either a mix of HL radio gear and Elmod boards for the sound and proportional control and im probably going to rip out the projectile firing gun and replace with a Flash LED in the Barrel ready for the IR battle system.
Well this all sounds Great but i guess i better find my self a donor Tank first

Thanks Mackem I may take you up on that as i have read your conversion you did. You are actually the one that inspired me to take this project on.
