so, a super half track would be a german looking(armor wise), front live axle, with tank steering treads, that were made out of the rubber bands you described [&:]

I am still waiting to buy some smoke and sound boards. I got a trip in a week to good ol Chicago, Il. so my funds are saved up for that.
Hello All,

I thought that I would show my most recent upgrade to my 21st Century 1/18 scale Pakwagon.

The following changes were made, the 1st was to install the Tamiya twin motor setup( Thanks Stuff for the idea, they work very well so far) Also I went back to the stock track setup and they have worked well thus far.

The other major change was the installation of an EL-Mod C4Prop system with the CSI battle unit, Blaster2, TLS, Booster.

The functional testing has gone very well. The vehicle is almost ready for operations just as soon as I get a modified TLS CPU installed.( the modification will allow me the incorporate the Front wheel steering along with the EL-Mod system.
The Sound Blaster is using the T34 sound for now.
It gives the project a whole different dimension.

Enjoy

Regards,

bullyhys

Neat pics.. I like how compact everything is in there... is your system something that could easily be done without the wheels steering? I'd like to keep most of the interior on my Pakwagon and have the vee run, but am not too concerned with much more than that as it's more a novelty than a piece I expect to drive alot.

Prometheum5,

Yes one could of course run the 251 without the front wheel steering that would be the builder's choice.
