Very nice and clean Ben. Some day all home made RC tanks will be laser cut.
How much did the laser cutter charge you for this?

Oh yes I forgot to mention, this baby is 1/6 scale, and looks positively tiny
next to the 1/6 Tiger!

I picked up the hull for my M113 this week. After many hours drawing in
sketchup I supplied the cad file, and the hull was laser cut from 2mm zinc
steel, and bent in a single piece on a 10-tonne brake press. I am VERY happy
with the way it came out.
Next is to start to make suspension components, which will be torsion bars.
Front and rear hull pieces will be welded on, also from 2mm zinc steel, the
top will be bolted on and removable. Not yet decided on whether to have a
drop-down rear ramp, part of me thinks if I was going to do that I would have
to make it RC controlled otherwise it just wouldn't be cool J
The 4 vertical holes are for the motor mounts, which I will fabricate from
steel.
Ben
