I have no one to fight with so far-I have a fiend , that are making the same Centurion-I made alle the 3D printet parts for him. Most of the printet parts are hided under the side skirts-Wits are made of 1.5 mm steel plate. And alot og my parts have 100 % infil-And then they are bulletproof.And if a part break-I can easily print a new one. No one answered my question on hov to get my Centurion on this site http://www.rctankcombat.com/order-of-battle/tanks/ <http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rctankcombat.com%2Forder-of-battle%2Ftanks%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHxeqX5ejzO7KeEiri1LAPAjoB4UA>
