Re: entry RC level vehicle [TANKS]

[Derek Engelhaupt <derekengelhaupt-at-rocketmail.com>]

I was wondering if the 21st Century Toys HMMWV MK-19 grenade launcher could be made to shoot paint balls or how hard it would be to do?  Or if that Hummer had enough power to pull a dead tank back to base.  It has a tubular metal chassis, proportional control, 12V battery like the Stuart, and independant suspension.  These can be had for about $170 or less on Ebay:
