Tim Loeb uses 1/8 inch thick roto-molded ABS for his hulls. They are definitely strong enough for RC tank combat. Detail pieces are cast styrene or acrylic and will break. One of his Semoventes was used for the X2 armored supply vehicle at Gettysburg 2008. http://www.rctankcombat.com/battle-reports/Gettysburg2008/photos/ http://www.rctankcombat.com/battle-reports/Gettysburg2008/photos/X2a-large.jpg http://www.rctankcombat.com/battle-reports/Gettysburg2008/photos/X2b-large.jpg One of his Hetzer hulls was used as a static prop at the Invasion of Smallville. http://www.rctankcombat.com/battle-reports/Smallville/photos/ http://www.rctankcombat.com/battle-reports/Smallville/photos/03Strategy-large.jpg http://www.rctankcombat.com/battle-reports/Smallville/photos/06DugIn-large.jpg http://www.rctankcombat.com/battle-reports/Smallville/photos/09SecondDefense-large.jpg Both took numerous hits at point-blank range with no damage at all.
