Taigen/Torro also has 390 motors that are black. A 390 is noticeably longer than a 380 motor.

Of course!
It is 10 mm longer than it, which is what its series says.
I think that with such a wide hull I can install 400 series engines...
The main thing is that the tracks are not torn apart by such a rotation speed....

While you guys have the discussion on horsepower, I’m trying to make a simple bloody cardboard box!!
Version 1 is a dimensional representation of how big a carton would be to handle several daily ration packs going in turn off the man/day packs issued to the IDF.
Being a Tank crew they get the bigger carton to last accordingly.
Measured & cut a pattern then folded & glued.

Then a rough attempt at Hebrew script which is awful.
For where it goes and what it needs to be however, that’ll do pig, that’ll do!
Mucked around trying sized and stowage positions but none is working.
Need to make more

Bix, I really like the home-made boxes! And I'd bet that was fun. RC tanking can lead to a great variety of modeling.
One can make some pretty cool stuff out of paper. Here's an example from my train layout. I didn't do the artwork (but you did, Bix) A CD file "kit" was printed on the heaviest stock my printer could handle, cut and folded
, weathered with chalks, dripped on a bit, and then sprayed with clear flat.

I did try to find a more current example.HERMAN BIX wrote: ↑Sun Mar 23, 2025 3:11 am Note the date on the lower line of test on the box. 2021 I think.
After reading the info in the link I posted I reckon the ingredients have been changed since that video?
Yes. I'd expect so but I'm also surprised how many forces do actually commonly still use canned goods.

Got pretty good at creating things out of unlikely ingredient combinations.
One of my mates was a Kiwi born but grew up in South Africa, served in the motorcycle recce units. He had a lot of well out of date but still palatable MRE's from there that we used up too. Those were good with Boerewors on we ekends away but jeez made ya thirsty!

Ahem, mucking around with stowage.
Silly thing is that it’s going to be hidden by the tarp over most of it anyway.
This layout can work.
I made another carton & this time ripped the thing open, as a crewman might do trying to quickly get rations out of it.
This’ll do I’m thinking

I hope the tarp will be removable so one can see all that great contemporary stowage.
