I read that it was available for purchase, just no one ever bought one. Besides, be hard to keep loading those rocket launchers like Bazooka Joe .. LOL.. Looks sweet. John P.

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 …. <https://groups.google.com/group/rctankcombat/attach/f8d9f37b9fbd609e/image001.jpg?part=0.1&authuser=0> The 110 featured a turret with two Milan missile launchers.

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.
