Thanks OP.

Thanks a lot.

You realize how much this is going to cost me and you are laughing.
My friend who works in the biggest hobby shop in the city made me promise to visit him at work tomorrow after I told him about this thread.
Now I gotta figure out where I can hide a fucking RC tank.

Yeah buddy, thanks a lot.

I didn't go.
Mrs is fine with it but not until after we move. She is also right since we are moving a few thousand miles and don't plan on taking much more than a small motorcycle trailer.
Space is going to be limited enough as it is.

My buddy understood.

I want a T-90, but my Other Half would shit a brick and point out (correctly) that I don't play with the one I have. (Walker Bulldog)

I don't play with the Bulldog because I want a T-90. (plus the weather is too shitty to play outside with R/C tanks.

I think I want a Patton tank with the big IR spotlight to hide my camera in.

I've been upgrading my security Camera's and DVR to 1080p. Hopefully get some more detailed Tank vs Tomcat action

Electronics for my 1/6 tank are beginning to arrive.

Here's an update
1. Tomcat has been back in the yard at least twice, but has left without approaching the food. Both times I had my dog inside due to the cold.
2. I IR illuminated my porch and have greatly improved recording quality.

This is awesome OP; probably the best thread of 2019. I’m gonna start planning a tank war on my wife’s cats. Thanks OP, I am grateful for the potential you have shown me.

He came into the yard Sunday morning, but did not get in range of the tank.
I may need to apply some camo to the tank to really push this lesson home.

In the wee hours of the morning as the tank commander was taking care of his waking kids, the Tomcat successfully completed a reconnaissance mission. No shots were fired.

I hate waiting on stuff to arrive!

I ordered the secondary armament for the 1/6th Tank
The internal turret .30 cal will use the gearbox and barrel liner out of one of these. I will machine the airsoft barrel liner to resemble a .30cal barrel shroud.

12 rounds per second at at 240fps

I also plan to install a Flashlight bulb to heat and keep the glow in the dark BB's bright, so they show up well on both Thermal and Low Light Camera.

Holy shit!

You are really committed to this little war.

We hope to see many photos of 1/6 tank, and gun-camera shots.

Buy a $20 led uv stage light on eBay, it will make the bb show up pretty brightly. Would work well on naked eye, not sure on camera

Awesome!

Damn lucky (for that dog) that there wasn’t a set of balls hanging down there! That would’ve been a devastating nut shot otherwise.

Yeah what are the chances I'll get both a groin and headshot in the future? I won't be taking any headshots with the full auto airsoft, the one in this video doesn't even shoot as hard as I can throw a BB so not really a risk for eye damage, but the full auto one I'll be working with soon could certainly hurt them.

Dog might just have a high tolerance for pain, it didn't yelp or anything.

Tomcat is still sneaking around. Just watched him walk through the yard, check to see if the Tank was still there and then leave the yard. He is keeping his distance. Might be time for me to put a box on top of the tank as camouflage.

Airsoft gun arrived, it works nice. Measured at 9 rounds per second with it's included battery.
Wife was probably wondering why I was holding a stop-watch and a gun over a tub of water.
