Re: construction question

["WJ" <WJ-at-vdtogt.nl>]

This subject has come up several times I think, and the decision as far as
I can remember is that each tank that wants to meet the
RCTankCombat-requirements must have been taken in production and out of
the Prototype stage.

Of course you could always build a completely new type of tank, and claim
that it was suposed to be a tiger but you have poor construction skills,
that's what I am aiming for ;)

A lot of your questions might be answered if you go through the archives
on the website, and search for certain words like prototype,allowed etc
etc
http://www.rctankcombat.com/archive/search.html

There is just SO MUCH info already gathered there, I found it to be heaven
to browse through it!

Enjoy!
