Your turret rotation system is very similar to mine with the single major difference that mine uses a 2" diameter timing wheel that engages a timing belt glued to the inside of the turret ring. The result is precise enough for accurate gun laying, immune to paintball goo and has been, so far (touch wood), totally reliable.

Speed controller is an Mtronics Viper 25 marine speed controller which, unlike a buggy controller, has a reverse with no braking. -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
