Re: M8E2 Cargo Tractor
Modified Pershing lower, had to raise the sprockets and make it front wheel drive. The rest is scratched from good old styrene sheet.ALPHA wrote:Very Cool... based off a PERSING? or scratch built?.... I want to see your Hovercraft

The hovercraft has been sat on my lounge floor for months, I need to fix a loose wire on an esc, but it's 95% done, the skirt will need finishing when I can test it again.

Re: M8E2 Cargo Tractor
It's running with an SLU to power it, and Permax 480 motors, and has been built mainly for off roading on the new SWAG battleground where there are plenty of inclines etc. The dozer blade would restrict the clearance at the front so I didn't do one, there is also the problem that as it is fwd, the gearboxes are at the front, so there is nowhere to put any mechanics to power one.
They made them without dozers, so I am on safe ground.
Currently looking at building a Long Tom to tow around. By my guesstimates the barrel is 43.75cms, but has four steps in it...and it is the steps that are causing me a headache...any solutions?
