Looks OK and seems handle well in the snow. Still have some cosmetic work do do and you should get rid of that stupid MG flash in the TC's periscope. [:'(] If you do electronic work, move that LED to the coax hole.

Nice video.  The coax hole is where the airsoft LED is right now.  It's where the coax machine would be.

You should also add some weight to it, especially the front end.  It's a little bouncy.  But, overall that one is a great runner.  I like the sounds, too.  Did you replace the speaker?

i added a 50 cent roll of pennies to the front and it did seem to help. i did not replace the speaker, its a stock speaker but im thinking of changing it to something better.

Driving in the snow looks like fun - we may get some here this week, I might have to try it with the Stug.

thanks guys, it does indeed run great in the snow. occasionally its "fat butt" causes it to sink into the snow and i have to go and rescue it, but overall it gets right in the snow and just goes! im debating on going with some type of winter camo, any suggestions?

Looks like it runs great, almost makes me wish we got show here  lol I don't think the M26 or the Panzer III's do too well in the snow though so I would be SOL. Lots of rain here as of late so my toys have been parked other than some indoor adjusting of the M26 road wheel spacing etc.

The Bulldog and a stock Mato Sherman are probably the best runners in snow. A Stock mato Sherman is light and fast. Acts more like a sled then a tank in the snow.

The video by keeping low with the camera makes it look close to scale surroundings. Nice job, bet your knees were cold!

rodger, my knees werent to cold, i use a tripod i got from the dollar store so i only have to kneel down long enough to get the camera pointed in the right direction. then i would record several clips of the same shot so that i had a few to choose from when editing. id say the worst part of it was the camera getting to cold and shutting down and having to go sit in the van to warm it up. im trying to get some cash together for a better camera as i think doing videos is alot of fun. im feeling better today so im hoping the weather is nice enough tommorrow to get outside and do some more videos!!!
