Great vids! Those wheels are grand but they are fun to assemble. Since you're getting to the nitty gritty of the upper hull shortly, here's some images of the real thing, located at Sapun Ridge just above The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death near Balaklava, Light Brigade fame.

Before you buy a new GoPro, you might want to take a look at the Mobius cam setup. That's what I use and I really like it. The camera starts at about 80 bucks and with another $30 you can get the docking station and with that you can use it as an fpv camera in real time, either with a screen, or with goggles. I have lots of fpv videos taken with the Mobius cam at my YouTube channel if you want to see how it works.

Thx for the advice

when you run the js2 go grab some wheel weights the ones they balance your car rims trust me you will find out that barrel is going to flop like a dancing queen up and down
If you decide too add some weight by sticking in the back of the rear of the turret to balance it out you placed the awesome Carson muzzle brake more weight .

Compare it to the old counter lever effect 😉 your welcome also if you don't know lift the hull off its own weight to prevent suspension sag not in use .
nice video enjoyed watching

Welcome to the js2 club
moving on to what is next lol .

Very nice had this one hiding Pcomm looks awesome .

Lets see how your detailing goes pitstain on happy jungle juice lol, did you also place a led in rear correct ?
The barrel is huge so hard to judge distance when turning.

Crius you have a JS2 hiding in your collection this is wonderful seeing .

I like watching you get in there and fix problems can't wait for rctankwarfare maybe they should all come and have some fun and enjoy what this is about.

I wonder if pitstain is holding out to cheer us up with a festive tank video to end the build.
