And I think I'm using a third one. The servo has no direct connection to the marker mounting assembly. The marker assembly simply rests atop an extended servo arm. Not that the Challenger is likely to run into anything. Although if it does, nothing should happen, other than maybe some hot glue coming unstuck. Yes, bits of my tank are held together using hot glue.... Next up: Feed system. I think I'll be copying somebody's ideas for that.
