A 360° 25mm turret with coaxial 7.62mm mc gun, full elevation and depression,, working gun searchlight all working through an 8 wire slip ring.
Working lights front and rear.
2.4ghz 7 ch radio.
Brass scratch made chassis
Using WPL modified axles, and re designed rear axle suspension.

Hope its of some interest.

You should be very proud of yourself With camo and decals it will be of Museum quality.

Very nice, something I have not seen before.
You could also install a tank control board, like a Clark TK40 on this vehicle, which has 2 mg and would allow the main automatic cannon and coax mg to both have independent flash and sound. I also found that compared to an ESC, the TK40 offers good low speed power and control.
Congrats

I think this vehicle would enjoy having some UN decals on its white delivery.

Mr sub I like the way you say here’s something I knocked together a few months ago.

But it’s quite clearly something more than just nocked together
