That Maxon mount for the .50's unit begs to have a trailer made for it... gonna try it? And if its R/C'd, that engine and tranny would make a great cargo item!
And yea, would love for someone to make a R/C-able suspension unit for it. Wonder if the front winch could be R/C'd too...
The Halfie is now on my 'to-buy' list...
How do the 50's compare in detailing to the Tamiya ones? and the rest of the tidbits (ammo cans, jerrycans, etc.) Are there any crew figs? If so, pics pls?
Hey, you could always shift it back to a White scout car, and put wheels under it instead of the track unit... at least until someone makes a durable track unit for it.

RE: got it today
Definitely not a realistic RC-able one for me, to pay that much upfront just to hack it up, source extra bits, then try to discreetly RC it... no thanks

Nice, Mine was to ship out today, looks like a fun build, to bad it can't be made to run.

Hello wackywheelz,
Sometimes it's a lot of fun to take on a project just to see what you can do with it.Even if sometimes it don't turn out as great as one hoped it would,the fun is the challenge and trying.

At a first glance, this model doesn't seem suited for an RC conversion without a lot of work and without changing a lot of parts

I like your approach making it tow the M17 2-Ton w/M45 Quadmount.
Or, did you mean this one?
I gotta quit looking at this build before I end up owning one. [
] Nice work! [sm=thumbs_up.gif]
