to the mad house or RC tanks for beginners
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!

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
