Default Adding a microcontroller

Hi. I'm looking to stick a small microcontroller (3.5x2.5 inches) into the internals of an RC tank. Can anyone here recommend an RC tank that has a particularly spacious chassis (enough for the microcontroller and maybe another small board or two), but isn't larger than a 1/16 scale? Thanks for any help!

The Hen Long Tiger 1 seems to have a lot of extra room inside of the hull. [sm=pirate.gif]

Just curious, what are the microcontrollers for?

Hopefully, the microcontroller will let us put some sensors on the thing as well as wireless control over the internet.

Question: are rc tanks' firing systems usually based around a dc motor?

Yes it is a very amall motor, like you would find in a small child's battery operated car. Check around this forum and you should find some pictues of one.
