The will be 3D printed M3 soon. It's 1/6, but there shouldn't be any problems with rescaling.

Exactly!

I have one coming. Any chance of getting a pic of the internal arrangement?

I’m planning a M3A1

Found on YT: damn it's fast. I wonder what gearbox is used. It needs to be slowed down so it doesn't go crazy like Formula 1.

It is quite a speedy little thing Kaczor, it does have two speed settings but it doesn't make too much of a difference, after all it was a light tank capable of 35-36 mph so I suppose it used it's speed to get out of sticky situations :thumbup:

I used super fine white milliput as that's the only colour that I had left :D once it's set I will prime them ready for paint :thumbup:

Hope it can run at a much slower speed as well.... Otherwise it is speed run with tank😜

Looks super good with those sandbags there, isn't a material I know, maybe you have a link to it?

Milliput is just a brand of sculpting putty RKRC, you take equal amounts of the putty and knead together, it can be used for multiple applications and once set it is rock hard, hope this helps :thumbup:
