if we can find some one to recast the syspensio components out of zinc this will make on fell of a rc but as is it is totaly usless as a rc as the rear bogies ar to delecit to even roll the tracks |

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

still hanot figured out what to do with the track they are so still they pull the syspesion apart when you try to install them |
RE: got it today

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
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
|
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 :D

RE: got it today
yes there are many parts that need ca glue but there are parts that require screwss that are not supplied and they want you to glue them but I am installing screws where ever possible for later consideration

RE: got it today
Those quad 50 cals look quite nasty. I'm glad I'm not on the wrong end of them.;)

RE: got it today
I like your approach making it tow the M17 2-Ton w/M45 Quadmount. :D
http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.c..._2017_10089675 Or, did you mean this one? http://www.skylighters.org/quad50/quadmount.jpg I gotta quit looking at this build before I end up owning one. [:o] Nice work! [sm=thumbs_up.gif] |
