Re: 1/6th RC Stuart now has a cannon-- well a marker anyway

Yep.  It works fine.  The stock drive motor has a 
couple of resistors across it to drop the current 
some which also slows it down so I may play with 
those to speed it up a little.  Otherwise, I'm going 
to try to pick off the existing control to interface 
it to the new radio to keep the "turret drive" sound 
effect.  Otherwise, a servo and a couple of 
microswitches will suffice.

Regards,

Ted
