Thanks for the help everyone.
I’ve done some digging and found that
Taiwan and Honduras have mounted the M40 (106mm Recoilless Rifle) on some of their HMMWVs.
I’m going to cut the back down to
make it a M1097 and make a pedestal mount for a paintball gun to mount on back.
I’ll send pix as soon as I get
everything bolted back together.
BTW: I live down in Melbourne Florida and help run a Help Desk for a Speech Recognition software company
called Nuance.
Ships, planes and tanks have been a hobby
for me for about 30 yrs. I’ve just recently (~1 yr) gotten into R/C tech
so I look forward to meeting you folks later this year.

I also have two of them. I am going to replace
the power board and radio system in it with a standard ESC and radio.
Mine will overheat if you run them too hard. They shutdown for about 30
seconds and requires you to cycle power on them to get them back up and
running. I was also planning on converting at least one of them into an
ammo hauler by removing the turtle back and making it into a flatbed
cargo/troop carrier.

I've recently discovered your website and would like
to build a tank and come to one of your gatherings this year.
My main project will be an M1 Abrams based on the 1/9th
Ultimate Soldier toy. I'm currently making extensive changes to it to bring it
to legal scale (1" too short) and improve (I mean replace) the suspension.
Oh, and I'm going to put a paintball gun in the turret too. I've browed your
website extensively and this project is going ahead full blast.
I also have a 1/6th scale Hummer that I
would like to arm. It came with a plastic representation of a TOW launcher.
Is a TOW launcher considered a Rocket Launcher
according to your rules (i.e. 1 shot only) or a "gun (which would then
have a magazine of 20 shots since this would equate to an armored car)?
In any case, I would like to submit it as a Transport
Vehicle since it has cargo space in back and a tow hook for a trailer that I am
going to make this weekend.
As a transport, it would list as 0/2 correct?
Thanks,
Martin Helsing
