Jagdpanzer with FPV

Post by FreakyDude »

Here is a scratch Jagdpanzer I built, used a HL PZ IV lower but the entier upper is scratched with the exception of the engine deck.
steel gears, CFlark TK 22, 400 motors, servo recoil etc
What make this one specail is I put an FPV system in it that not only allows me to aim the gun but I can drive the tank with it. I'll install a card reader on my PC this week take a video and post it.
I am using a Walkera radio that allows me to watch in real time with a 300 meter range, It also records on a 8 mb mini card. It gets sketchy at times but in general it is way too cool.
The drivers sight on the right in the front view is where I have the camera lens. I have used this set up in a few other configurations and have adapted a battery cable that allows the camera etc to run off the 7.2 v on board system.

Mikec The mantlet is a scratch build, made a plastic frame to keep the weight down then I used modelling clay, the zim is all milliput.
