1/12 Viet Nam ERA PBR

Post by GreenAmphibian »

Here are some old pictures of my PBR while it was being sorted out. It has undergone some major internal changes since these were taken. I will post more when I take some additional photos.

It is actually a semi-kit that is still offered by Frank's mosquitoboathobbies.com in Calif.

I like the look of that, I was watching my Holy Grail of DVD's, Apocalpyse Now, just the other night and thinking...I wonder if anyone sells those in RC form. Will follow this thread, just don't forget the water ski's and surfboard....and the helicopters, and the voice from above saying "I want the surfboard back, it was a good surfboard" lolol

Since these were taken it has been changed to Traxxas verlinion brushless motors and water cooling of the motors and speed controls. The lights are operated from a servo and there is independent control of each motor and reverse bucket. Runs great!

Well I finally got around to taking some updated pictures of my PBR, so here they are. Most just show the outside, but I have two of the inner workings in this batch also.
