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?

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! http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s265/nitzerebbhead/KV-2/Picture002.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s265/nitzerebbhead/KV-2/Picture004.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s265/nitzerebbhead/KV-2/Picture001.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s265/nitzerebbhead/KV-2/Picture003.jpg http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s265/nitzerebbhead/KV-2/Picture005.jpg http://s154.photobucket.com/albums/s265/nitzerebbhead/KV-2/?action=view¤t=Picture006.flv Derek T065 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
