One last twist and you'll have perfection: Replace the 5/8" all-thread
and nuts, by a 5/8" tube/pipe and two 5/8" collars/flanges That allows
you to pass wires through the center of rotation from the main body to
the turret. See:
http://www.rctankcombat.com/tanks/T001/Page4.html
for more details. In the Tiger, a metal bar is welded to the tube to
form a "T", which allows the turret to be attached/removed using two
nuts. When I want to work on the turret systems, I detach it from the
main body to make things easier.
