Wondering if this should be sticking up out of the drivers hatch when I finish the 1/6th Tank

Who knows, there isn't a huge selection of 1/6th scale trump heads lol
I told my wife the Brad Pitt one from Fury looked the most realistic, but she thought it would be weird to have a Brad Pitt doll head. I showed her the Trump one and she said that would be awesome lol.

I love animals as much as anyone, but it was eating my dogs food. Teach it a harmless lesson or feed it for 10-years?

How's that? Seems like the dog was pretty stupid coming back for more.

The dog (looks young) knew where the attack came from and did not repeat the same mistake twice unlike Tomcat.

Thanks!

Looking for videos on ebay I haven't found any that look faster, even the gas powered ones seem slower.

It will also have a very slow creep mode for sneaking up on stuff
Full Auto Airsoft at 240fps with at least 10 rounds per second.

The orginal tank only went .5mph
The Drill motors I installed have a combined 130 inlb of torque!

Sweet battle ride.

Looking forward to seeing it operate once you get everything reinforced. Don’t wanna see it burn from too much “moar power!”

This and the 11' 8" bridge are quality entertainment

Thanks for the bump.

I've not given up. I'm actively building my long range tank. The environment is still target rich.
just received more electronics from China.

I burned out the 10amp relays. Just got 40amp ones Saturday.

I think I have one of those Stewarts!

Care to share any details on what you've changed other than the motors?

You wanna see that tank really haul ass. Get rid of those old brushed motors and replace them with brushless and use LIPO batteries.

Trying to keep the cost to a minimum. I got both drills for only $30 shipped, they will be cheap to replace and already had the correct gearing.
The stock battery provides plenty of amps, enough to burn out the wires and relays. Had to move to 10ga wire and 40amp relays. It's 12V so it's putting out a lot more Watts at 20amps (240watts per motor) than one would think, since most lipo are 7.2v or less.

The past month or so I haven't really had time to keep up with the tomcat, but I got my motion sensors set up and just got an alert and the tomcat is back. Probably have some more good videos in the next couple of days.
