Hi guys i wanted your opinion on this one. I am going to build an rc tank it would be a elefant or a scorpion. pics are down there.

i say the scorpion. looks awesome.

elefant defo lol
how u gonna construct it m8?
i think you can buy the elefant so maybe the scorpion.. hey just build both
good to have new projects i say lol

isnt the scorpion the little tank that the guy from britian drove to france in ?

The FV101 Scorpion is a British light tank, part of the Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) or, CVR(T) family. The full design name is Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) Fire Support (Scorpion). Manufactured by Alvis Vickers it was introduced into service with the British Army in 1973 and served until 1994. More than 3000 were produced.

Yes it was little weighting in at 8.07 tonnes
You need a few to out weight a Tiger lol [sm=wink_smile.gif]

cool benny boy go the scorpion

I know what the fuking thing is dick head!!! Duhhh what one should i build Tiger 76 ya Fukin idiot.

English piece of ****!.

Well Benny Boy after your last post directed at Tiger76 i would be amazed if anyone answers any of your questions
again... in fact i would think the moderator would have something to say about that last post... it was not called for,
Tiger was just joining in with some information he thought relevant to the thread.... but having read your posts on this forum
i cant say i am surprised... I and other new tank modellers have found this forum and the people who are willing to help
and pass on any information they can invaluable and dont deserve to be verbally abused by you ...

And let me add that those "smileys" don't lend any credibility to the excuse that it was a joke. [:@]

Very Disapointed in him myself []

my post was a reply to the_stuff regarding the small size of the Scorpion tank...
Not at you as i assumed you knew what it was as you uploaded a pic yourself lol

As for the statement " english piece of..." Im hoping your talking about the tank my dear friend...

I agree totally with swath's comment ... And Tiger you dont have to explain
yourself i think anyone who reads the posts know's who is at fault ... and i for one have enjoyed
reading your's and swath's posts as i have all the members its a shame that
someone has to act (as his name suggests) like a boy....

sorry guys i was off my face[sm=bananahead.gif] sorry if i afended any one if you can forgive me please do i will be a good boy.

bla bla bla bla

Elefant!!!

finnaly some one who answers a questions

scorpion!!!!

Ferdinand!

Scorpion!!

First off, what scale? If you build the scorpion, you might want to consider 1/6 scale.


I was part of an Army/USMC test team in the early 1980's that tested the Scorpion along side several other candidate Light Armored Vehicles -- we chose the Canadian 8X8, which is in USMC service now -- the Scorpion was a really cool LAV but didn't quite meet the full requirements for transporting troops... it was fun to drive and made for a great recon vehicle. Brits did a great job, as they do with all their armored vehicles...

If it were me, I'd go for the Elefant in 1/6 since I prefer the older, WWII era vehicles. It's also one of the heaviest armor vehicles ever produced, next to the King Tiger and the Mousse. If you have access to a machine shop, go with metal hull and turret, etc. -- find some heavy duty Pittman motors, etc. and go for it!

Cheers...

Hi i dont have access to a machine shop but me and my dad have disided to go with a 1:16 U.S. m113a2 troop carier because it looks cool and easy to build.

Wopsy i was still logged in as pantiger man he is my friend he was over my place the other day.

Awsome descision benny.

Scorpion! "Get over here!"

I'd say Elephant!

na the m113a2 looks cool.
