RC tanks for beginners
Hello Paul!
My new project is a mini-tank for my son to drive
in. So I'm not going for the battle-part (although maybe this mailinglist
changes my mind!!). For this purpose I bought a joystick operated electric
wheelchair, to be able to build the drive system.
I am thinking of building a recce vehicle without
a turret, considering the fact that my son has to be able to sit in it
comfortably. That would not be possible wih a turret mounted, or the tank
would become too large. So an M113 (but actualy too dull) or an YPR 765 would
be more appropriate.
I have checked out the RC-site regularly and very
much like the so called Tyng track system with the molded innerparts, as seen
on tank #1, the improved version.
So Paul, what part of the UK are you from? I have
spent a few holidays over there so I might have been somewhere
around!
Regards,
Marc

Hi Marc
I am in the UK and attempting to build a 1/6 scale
Cromwell what tank do you want to build ?
Do you have any plans yet or any thoughts on the type
of tracks you will build ?
The folks on the list are very helpful and tolerant of
beginners so don't be afraid to shout up if you have any
problems/questions
regards
paul
