The closest thing I've seen to what you are describing is an older automotive horn button part. Under the stearing wheels, there is a disc with a couple circular tracks of copper that contacts ride on to allow the steering wheel to spin freely without twisting horn wires. It would work I think.

The idea being that to get electrical connectivity from the hull to the turret, and still be able to turn 360 degrees all day long, I need to get electrical contacts through some kind of circular connection. This is rather than using wires which will get twisted by turret rotation. I realise that most of the time turrets are never going to get rotated enough to worry to much about twisted wires, but it would be nice not to have to worry about it at all and just be able to turn around and around without hinderance. I don't think I explained that very well, but hopefully it makes sense :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
