Title: Message
hi all
 
well  t027 has spent 2 years languishing in the garage and now it is time to pass it on to someone who will finish it and maybe fire the gun in anger ?
it can be seen here :-
http://home.btconnect.com/british_tanker/tank-index.htm
 
including a short video.
 
I want £65.00 ovno for the following.
 
1 Hetzer running chassis comprising of the following
2 x kiddie car motors - condition good
2 x tracks - condition used couple of teeth missing functional
1 x tri-pact speed controller - condition good
1 x futaba 6 channel RX on 27 mhz [AM ]- condition ok when last used
2 x gell cells lightest one duff maybe gives 10 minutes running heavy one was ok when last used [ both may now be dead ]
 
extras
 
2 x futaba TX 6 channels on 27 mhz AM
1 x paintball gun - condition unknown bought from ebay never fired
1 x aluminium tank for gun - condition untested
1 cardboard top as seen in pictures
1 spare treadmill belt - condition used but fine for tanks
1 spare pair of kiddie car motors - condition good see below
1 partially completed plywood top - condition good but unfinished
1 set 1/6 scale drawings
1 book showing electrical connections etc
1 Hetzer book to help finish it
1 jig for cutting wheels
1 jig for cutting tracks
1 set of wheels cut for Cromwell that was never started
anything else I find that will fit in the car ?
 
bad news:-
kiddie car motors are of limited use.
it moves on tarmac/concrete and mown grass
when  grass gets to about 2-3 inches long then it will only move in a straight line and does not have enough torque to turn
when grass is over 4 inches long it can barely move at all.
the spare pair of kiddie car motors could be fitted to the rear tension axle ?  [ maybe ] which would double the power and may help
it impressed everyone who witness it running at Rufford park but that was compacted earth mainly and short grass.
 
this tank was built with a 10" bench saw and a drill press and was/is ? the only TTS tank currently in the uk
 
regards Paul
 
ps request more photos if you want to see any details 
pps I live in Nottinghamshire
