Weird motorized Junkyard battle tank 1/35 scale

Post by modler »

Ok have this thing for years and can not remember where it came from. I think there was a show on TV where they built stuff in the "Yard" and had a competition with the things made there.

Features, Blade goes up and down as vehicle moves forward, followed by firing of two broom sticks.

On\off switch for motor control. Could easily be made RRC :think:

Powered by single 130 motor.

Yes it is weird and it still works and is a values member of my Tank collection

Reminds me of something that Leonardo DaVinci would’ve designed. I think we can all agree that little critter deserves a “cute” award!

Something I would expect to see in mad max or the borderlands game
It’s your tank it’s what you make it

Yes I think it is quite interesting. I will soon do a video of it in action. This model has a on\off switch that activates its movement with a single AA battery for power.

I will convert it to 1s lipo and a very small Radio control RX for on\off control. After this conversion is complete it will join my parade of RRC Tanks 8)
