Sounds good Mark. I was just thinking that when you hit a bump running at speed that you might have a problem with lid hopping (for lack of a better term). I was just wondering out loud, but as I said before I think it's a smart design. Mark_123522 wrote: David: Those 4 struts fit tightly side to side, centering the turret deck. I just built that system, today, and I am hopeing not to use any latch, just gravity. The struts go "over center" so it will stay open. I want to have easy access to the air tank for quick recharging at "home base". I need to build a barrel shroud, like you did for your Tiger, but I am running out of time till next battle. My barrel is just a paintball gun barrel. Mark On May 23, 6:44 pm, David Cansler <dc...@verizon.net> wrote: Smart design Mark. How is it latched down?

Mounted second set of batteries, built battery hold down brackets. Cleaned up the wireing a little -- grounded the motor controler and it helped reduce a gun elevation servo glitch. Did A little painting. Tuned up the paintball feed / fireing system: Gets 225 shots on a tank of air. http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z65/mm123521/HPIM0924.jpg There sure a lot of systems required to do combat. I hope all this stuff works, because I'am driving 10 hours to Gettysburg, Pa.. If it breaks down, its 20 hours of driving wasted.
