Eco friendly M-75 APC

[vonrundstedt]

Unfortunately ive not taken photo's during the build of this, but here's a couple of it in its primed form. Its constructed using a Hobby engine lower hull (from a Leopard) The mdf backing from a picture fram, cerial box's, plastic from a fox's biscuit tub and scavanged parts from a scrap Bulldog, so, made totaly from recycled materials, hence the title 'Eco Friendly'. more photo's soon.

I started it in November, after recieving the lower hull from Plastic Scouser at your meet back in October. Its been on and off since then purley because of finding the materials.

A few more pics;-
The bulldog sprockets had to be fitted back to front on the hobbey engine drive shafts so ive used some spare centre caps to finish them off.
A closer view of the rear.
The 'innerds' My tried and tested rc helicoptor electrics. Ive built the front so i can still accomidate an rx 18, standered battery and speaker at a later date.
The removable front 'plate'.

I'm curious as to why you did'nt use a HL Bulldog hull as the M-75 was based on the m41.

[vonrundstedt]

I did'nt have the bulldog when i started it,only the hobbey engine hull, and when i did get it, 50% of the suspension arms and wheels were broken. I whish there was more to it then that, but sadley, thats it.
I guess its fair to say that its based on an m-75.
