Man that was excellent, perfect runner it seems. The giant dog attack did not swamp you, and the control seems responsive.top notch build. And the video is well worth watching you just don't see this every day, one of a kind for sure.

Thanks guys! It has been a good build and fun to overcome the many problems that arise when doing something that hasn't been done before. My next trick is going to be the Viet Nam version, the LVTP 5.

Since I have gone up to the AAF museum I have decided to modify my LVT's so that they can play an active role in the war games held there. In order to do that a IR system had to be installed into them. These pictures show how I did it. The LVT 4 has blinking LED's inside the cab that simulate fire when it is "killed".

How it goes together. Box is to hide the cords and to get the height I needed to get the receptor above the sides.
