I don't think so...atleast on Pershing, theres a square cover that goes over that, then 2 screws go into the metal tub and 2 into the speaker. There doesn't seem to be any other details added to thebottomof the hull for accuracy purposes, so I doubt it. The thought I did consider was that it was a left over design from a static kit, like Tamiya does with some of their 1:35 scales that still have the batter symbols or previous gearbox mounts. But there is no 1/16 static Pershing........so, that conclusion is moot.

I've beeneyingthis since it's been up. While it's still static, theaccessoriesare a bargain depending on what it can be won for. At the closing time of this auction, if the price is reasonable, I may have to see if I can snipe bid this......then sell the kit and get the rc version!
