Smooth. Great mobility with those suspensions

    Nice.  I was checking your other albums too, Derek. Will you post a video 
with your M113 in action, at some point, PLEASE?
    3.5",  huh? (totally non related topic)

      Work has slowed mainly because I'm getting into the nitty gritty stuff 
like suspensions, mantlet, tracks, wiring, etc.  I think I have more hours 
building the mantlet than I do building the rest of the turret.  It's not easy 
to cut 6 half circles and get them to fit together nicely on a rotating axis.  
The first pic is of the motor compartment with the fans fitted and speed 
controllers mounted.  The second pic is a shot of where the fans exit the rear 
deck.  It doesn't look like there is any space there for the air to escape, but 
there is.  The third pic shows a different angle and includes the ball bearings 
the turret now rides on.  I wanted more support since the turret is massive.  
The fourth pic is an angle shot of the mantlet.  And the last pic is a shot of 
the mantlet from inside the tank.  It rides on ball bearings, but I still have 
some issues with rubbing when it moves.  Nothing a Dremel can't fix.  Lastly, 
there is a short movie of the turret in action.  Enjoy!
