Welcome, Fred. It's great that you took time away your Presidential campaign
and "Law and Order" series to build a tank :)
I bet you've heard that joke a lot lately, huh ? That's the curse of having
a famous name, I guess.
I've always thought the Walker Bulldog was a cool tank. Good choice. I'm
anxious to see it run.

Hi,
I too, have just recently entered the realm of r/c tanks. I am
currently building a Walker Bulldog. I have the hull built, the road
wheels installed, the front idler and track tensioner installed, top
bogies, and am currently working on the drive train. Basically, I have
all the parts from r/c to the paintball marker. I am, however getting
a real lesson in 'fuzzy engineering'. :-)
I took some pictures from the net, a few line drawings, what limited
specs were available, scaled it down to approx 1/6, and started
planning. As it is my first tank (one of many I foresee) I went
without suspension. This simplifies the build. In theory, I should
have a rolling chassis before the new year.
Many thanks to all the people on RC Tank Combat. Great articles, and
many, many great ideas.
Cheers,
Fred
