Hi Steve –
Your picture shows a VPX-500, which didn’t make it into production. That’s a shame because the 5000 is much cooler looking than its older brother, the VPX-110. I’d prefer to model after the 5000 if the “tank authorities” will approve for a modest “consideration fee”. Say, some form of alcohol …. The 110 featured a turret with two Milan missile launchers. Still a tank by our rules: Category Description Tank Any fully tracked vehicle From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of TyngTech Sent: Monday, March 9, 2015 5:18 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: [TANKS] Re: "Small Fry" lives Rocket launcher or turret? <http://www.jedsite.info/fulltrack-victor/victor/vp90_series/vpx-5000-milan/vpxmilan_001.jpg> <http://www.chars-francais.net/2015/images/stories/photos/vpx.jpg> On Sunday, March 8, 2015 at 7:40:43 PM UTC-4, RocketMan wrote: Check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYynSfIdzng <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYynSfIdzng&feature=youtu.be> &feature=youtu.be It’s the chassis for my new tank, “Small Fry”. It also shows a test of the new track system with attachment chain and injection molded grousers. It works great so far ! I was a little too aggressive and I got stuck in the deep snow and slush but it did great otherwise. I especially like that the tracks stay on without a lot of tension. The tank is a VPX-110 from the late 70’s. The French exported a few to their customers, and also built a mortar carrier version of it. - Doug -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
