Title: RE: FOA ABS [TANKS]

The thickness of the FOA tanks armor is approx 1/8" thick... give or take a bit...the turret is also the same thickness....the plastic is very sturdy and I believe it will hold up to paintball abuse..as for the outside mounted accessories...i.e. ,MG barrel...headlight...smoke launchers...fire extinguisher, front and rear mud flaps...etc...they may get blown off by the paintballs....I drilled a hole thru my MG barrel and strengthened it with a copper rod...as for my hatches, I drilled out the resin latches and attached them with copper rods so they can open and close..I've painted my Tank to represent the surviving Tiger in the movie"Kelly's Heroes", and I also converted a 1/6 tank commander to represent the fat faced German commander in the movie(Karl-Otto Alberty)..I will post some pictures of my Tiger and commander ASAP...like I said previously I'm not mechanically inclined in the art of RC converting and would appreciate it greatly if someone could email some instructions on how to get started and maybe also an idea on the best Items to make my tank run..I'm looking to keep my tank lightweight...under 100 lbs...

 

 

Thanks
