Since I have PVC left over, I was going to rebuild the hull of my M113 out of PVC. Although the whole thing will probably be 1/2" PVC due to the fact that's all I have left. It will increase the weight somewhat, but the 450W motors are more than up the task to power it. I should get the scale out and see what the KV-2 is weighing at this point. I'm putting the new metal lathe to work turning the sprocket hubs down to decrease weight and add some detail to the face of them.
