I meant that the controlling device- in this caes a person rather than a radio- runs on Pop Tarts. Pop Tarts don't give ME the power to do zero skid turns, so I wouldn't expect them to power the tank that way either. Gator Ade has more power though. . . (still not enough). I've done some 100-160 mile long bicycle rides and I discovered that I spend more money for Gator Ade on these trips than I would have for gas in the car. NF Bill

I only wish pop tarts had the calorific power to preform zero skid turns in a 1/3th tank, if that was true I wouldnt need all the extra weight that comes with 24 v of SLA :) And Guy , you can build a tank with any petrol engine you wish , but if you wish your tank to receive an rctankcombat designation it will have to fit within the rules and be electrically powered. I intend to build my next tank to have a petrol engine ( or two ) that can easily be replaced by a pair of electric motors for rctankcombat tank battles. Try this site for ideas :- http://www.scaledtanks.com/news.php its a bit like this site but builders build bigger tanks mainly using petrol engines Neil R -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
