There's a 1;16 RC LAV-25 on EchoBayvious with water cannon supoosed to shoot a pretty good distance. Any one familiar with this model?[&:]....who makes it, replacement parts available....compatable with HL-Tam?? I'm intetrested in only the water gun to mount in my Sherman where I have installed a flame gun. (OK, only water [:@][>:]]) Once I have it, I have no use for the LAV unless I can convert it to a German 8 wheeler. Would appreciate any info.

Bill-Does it look like this?

I was thinking of getting one of those myself just to mess around with....

Thats what it is. Made by Shantou Mato, comes in 3-4 paint schemes

Banana hobby and Hobbytron and maybe even radinteck has some of the RC water shooting models also.For what it's worth.

I have 2 of them. 1 works and 1 is parts. lol what is wrong with them..

1 - Only rear wheels drive.
2 - not a 'locked diff' so 1 wheels can steer
3 - wheels are hard plastic
4 - only front wheels spin
5 - cannon level has to be moved by hand. not rc
6 - controller is very cheap.

now if someone took one, gutted the reservoir out of it, re-made the axles, put chain drive on the inside and used some gear boxes and made it like a tank that would rock.

also flashing 'cop' lights on it get annoying.

edit: the pump is actually good. its a 3 roller style and has lots of punch.

yep, that's it.....only interested in the water cannon system for a flame thrower mock-up. Think it would be piossible to mount in the Tamiya Sherman? Thanks for the info...I'll check the others out too.

I was also thing of kit-bashing the thing into an 8-wheeled German "Puma"...Does that too sound "feasible"?

umm... dose not look anything like a puma man. front axle steers, middle 2 are not full axles, and rear is only drive. also wheels bad.

this is what a puma should look like:

looks nice, that shouldn't be too bad...turret a bit tricky though.

Paper models for the plans... I have em

Did I start something or what....? I was planning on just turning the turret around --ie, making the back into the front. I don't even care if it "turns" all that well. Just wanted some "easy meat" for my Sherman

as is it would be easy meat. paste some enemy symbols on the side and pelt it! :P
