Chrysanthos: You could simply place a 6vDC cell between the power and the fan. That way it would be 24 volts. Works every time! -Mike M 2009/6/15 Chrysanthos Kanellopoulos <[email protected]> Too bad the smokers run on 24 V. I could use those. My tanks run on 18 Volts. Include these and a sound generator for tanks and you have an ultra realistic tank model.

I'm assuming you're planning on running it out both exhausts on the Tiger. Derek T065 On Sun, Jun 14, 2009 at 9:18 PM, Mike Måne <[email protected]> wrote: Fantastic work! Good control apparently and nice suspension. And I like the vapor machine idea too! Will the vapor harm any of the electrinics once the "engine compartment" is closed up? I suppose that works like one of those humidifiers you can buy from stores. Perhaps you could make one by disassembling and modifying one. -Mike M 2009/6/14 Sgt.A.Johnson <[email protected]> I wonder how it would do on a less slippy surface. Or grass.
