Think that's the STL Gordon tweaked to do his.

Re: Conqueror.
Thanks for the pointer to the files. I bought them and had a look, the model is intended to be static and as presented needs a whole heap of editing and work to make it useable, I manipulated the turret and with some work I may be able to edit it and use it but as it stands it looks like its going to be 2 days of printing!
I think further investigation will be required.

Re: Conqueror.
As one of my favorite cold war machines, the Conqueror is pretty high on the list of vehicles I'd like to build one day.
Absolutely monumental piece of machinery, and a darn good chassis if those who served on it and the FV222 ARV are to be believed.
I've also had a look at the Gambody files, and while it's certainly possible to make them work it's going to be an uphill struggle all the way.
Might be worth waiting to see what Inkor of RC_3D_Tanks has got cooking for his next batch of vehicles. The Conqueror has been eagerly requested, and I wouldn't be surprised to see one show up pretty soon if only the darn Russians could stop trying to strangle his power supply.

Re: Conqueror.
Yes having had a look at the files, they really are designed to produce a static model albeit with a couple of moving parts like the turret and barrel, track and sprockets etc are not viable for an rc model. If i do decide to progress with this there wiĺl be a lot of work required on sprockets, suspensìon, and hatches to provide a functional working model.

Might be worth reaching out to Gordon as he's already done this.AlwynTurner wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 3:30 pm Yes having had a look at the files, they really are designed to produce a static model albeit with a couple of moving parts like the turret and barrel, track and sprockets etc are not viable for an rc model.

Re: Conqueror.
The whole built to be static part was the part that worried me about the Gambody files. The Badger is based on the Conq chassis also which I think Gordon also made.
