Can i just make my own gear reduction? or do i have to buy the motor gear reductor (is it cheaper)? if you didn't all ready have motors, i'd say look for a pair with the gear reduction on it (it tends to save you some money) motors like these can tend to save you space in your tank and having to work out how you'd build the motor /trany assembly. and what is the best motor for a 186lb tank with weight dispersion between 6 contact wheels (in your opinion anyways). when you say 6 road wheels, it that 6 per side or 6 total? and what are full skid turns?
a full skid turn is where a tank pivots within it's own space (both tracks are turning at the same speed in opposite directions) _http://www.flickr.com/photos/organize/?start_batch=recent_uploads_ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/organize/?start_batch=recent_uploads) just tried your link and it's requiring me to log in. Well i want it to be able to withstand a person trying to break it. who (and more importantly why) would someone go out of their way and try to break it? its not modeled but is to look similar to the m1a1 but nothing to similar (like an m3a3 and an m1a1). 38"-15"-7.5" basically high density plywood 5/8" should be more than sturdy enough at 5/8" > If you used an X-Box controller, you could go the route of embedding a > computer (mini/nano ITX) in your tank and then using that as your > controller. > hey cool but wouldnt the range be crappy, and what mini/nano ITX thing is the best in your opinion and how would i hook it up. i don't know anything about this stuff, but here is a link _http://www.cheapcontrolsystems.com/_ (http://www.cheapcontrolsystems.com/) hope this helps a bit Chris, _Odyssey Slipways_ (http://hometown.aol.com/odysseyslipways/index.html) -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
