I set the bow MG servo to manual control using one of those super cool rocker switches on the Radio. Don't touch the rocker and the MG stays still and lights up with the regular stick control. Use the rocker and you can have the bow MG gunner looking for a target then letting fly or just spray and pray when you light it up using the stick.

This is very cool I'm sure someone on here is trying to figure out this same thing Image

I like the option to aim AMD fire like the main gun very cool indeedImage

Good morning, Carl!
Happy Thanksgiving, Doc! After tomorrow, if the weather remains good, I'll have the final video for this tank up. The research Stuart is coming along tho' I have pretty much given up making it either battery powered or RC. Original gearboxes seem to be impossible to find. Have a great one, my friend.

Painless

Good afternoon!
It took a lot longer than 'day after tomorrow' but I think that it was worth the wait ( and the lot cleanup after the latest windstorm )
Without further nonsense, a very 'no nonsense' tank.
regards,
Painless

Yes indeed it's just perfect just the right blend of looks and sounds.

The convoy light is wonderful and realistic touch!

I agree with Carl, Indeed I was surprised just how effective the convoy light was.
The recoil was a nice sight as well.

I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Hello!
Thanks, Gentlemen! I need to work on my videos for sure. The tanks do their part now I must remember that 'loud' inside is not loud enough outside. I had cranked up the volume after charging the battery and checking the fill level on the smoker. The wind outside ( even tho' it was a shadow of itself compared to the last few days ) was still enough to muffle the sound and whip away the exhaust smoke even at full revs\top speed over that broken ground. Within a couple of years, I will have pea gravel and asphalt roads to trundle along and other people to chase with my Heavys and nice scenery, man-made and otherwise. The pups today were like, "why rake all that up, we're just going to bound through the brush and sage and scatter it again" *laughs*
regards,
Painless
