Hi OZ Great job and it runs at a good speed which gearboxes did you use ,the only thing I can see that may need modifing is the transmission bit you have put on the gearboxes it may foul when on rough ground .

Oztruck,

your video and the half track is exceptionally done. WOW! The details you put in there amazes me! AND you turned your backyard into a 1:16 scale war zone. That is just so cool man! I like the way you placed that GI on the trike pointing to where the half track should go.

Is your kit an RC or you just made it into one?

Thanks for the nice words, the 1/2 track is a 21st century 1/18 toy converted to RC. I used a twin Tamiya toy gearbox and the HL electronics + 2 converted RC servos.
As for the "Village Bakyard" its a great place to run my stuff. I enjoy running my stuff in the sun. Your only young once, make it last as long as you can ;D. Me I am 60 years young this October.
