    No TOW Launcher - yet. I need to build it and decide how to control it. The Hummer only has 2 channels and the servos wont interface with a normal Rx.

    No junk in this trunk - for now.

    Underside shows how the chassis was constructed from 4 steel tubes. 2 12V motors makes for a fast ride. I have to see how it will handle in rough terrain.
