A bit off topic, finally got some time to do some tanking so made a vid, tried standing on my tank for first time. Weight is about 45 kilos, Voltage is still at 12volt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5tfvQjeOFI On 20/12/09 11:56 AM, "Derek Engelhaupt" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: 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.

I am about to make an M113 out of steel and by my calcs with 2mm steel it will not be anywhere near 100kg. Of course it will only be 75cm long, wont have a turret. If you went for a 1/6 Abrams or similar large vehicle then I guess you could hit 100kg easily.

They seem to be about 50-100kg (No, I'm not converting it for you), depending on what they are made out of. A mild steel tank would weigh upwards of 100kg I would think. Has anyone actually made a steel tank? -Gregory On Sun, Dec 20, 2009 at 6:27 AM, Fred Thomson <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: My Bulldog is a porky 200lbs.
