Some of you have probably seen my winter todo list that I posted in the thread about T027.
On there is the list of stuff to do on the Challenger (FA006) as well. Here's a summary of the tasks still to do after today's work: - Track system needs designing. - Front panels need rebuilding. - Elevate system needs sorting out. - Thorough testing of all upgrades. Today was a very productive day in my opinion as I got the door lock actuator fitted and working. Albeit not via a BattleSwitch yet. I also managed to get the infrastructure in place for future wiring. A 12V terminal block sits at the rear of the main hull, providing the 12V distribution for the door lock actuator and (when I get that far) the motors and Sabertooth. A 7.2V terminal block sits at the front to provide the "Power On" indicator via the headlights. If I get bored one day I might make the a PIC that takes the RC signals and controls little indicators on the back of the tank for reverse, braking and indicators. You can see the new trigger mechanism (and the layout of my turret) at http://www.rctankcombat.com/field-artillery/FA006/Page2.html Also there is a pic of the headlights on. They don't really show up unless it's dark. Hopefully I'll be able to rival Neil's Leopard, or whatever he decides to come up with (now that he has space to build stuff again!). Speaking of that, Neil, if you see this, are you going to reveal your next vehicle or not yet?
