Frank,
Thank you for the heads up. I'll search around and see what I can dig up. ;o)

Still gets up to a fair clip at full throttle so suspect that is not scaled.

45mph on road, so they did shift in reality (for the time & for a tracked vehicle). Scale speed would be 3mph (I think), so if it's moving much faster than walking speed either you need to speed up or it's a bit quick.

Evening, Painless..
My son in Switzerland (the one with the impressive and growing collection of WW2 pistols, revolvers and rifles) sent me a drone for Father's day. It has a small HD camera mounted on it, and I thought it would be great for filming my tanks in action on my patch of Highland brae side. The problem is, I only have two hands.. and controlling a moving tank whilst filming it from a drone requires four...and two tanks, well..you get the picture. The dog can hold a bone in her front paws, but a Spectrum TX is a tad beyond her skill set at present.. At least you can probably get some help filming your future tank emporium in action.. with a little persuasion ..and so you can celebrate that
Meantime, I shall have to get the neighbours into tanking or, develop telekinesis, or, I shall have to morph into someone like Shiva!
Shiva would be the ultimate tank controller

W.W.,
Thank you! Setting up my account, I noted that the USA was not included in the list of countries that they service. At least I know what I am looking for now and that card seems to tick all the boxes. ;o)

43rd R&R,
Have fun with the Drone. Don't those expensive ones that have cameras hover with a pre programmed 360 or summat? That might work as long as the winds don't blow it out over the local Loch.

Painless

MY goodness Roy the memories came flooding back when I saw the Photograph of "Shiva"
Anyone who has ever been to Katmandu wil almost certainly have been impressed by the wooden carvings on the shop fronts and other building frontages,
Some of the most explicit sexual activities you could ever imagine are to be seen in the brightest of colours and in very great detail
It certainly made a change from our High Street signs.

IT is a pity the IBU 2 (Truck) isn't more compatible because its size 103mm (4 inches) x 65mm (2 1/2 inches) x 25mm (1 inch) would be very usable.
Good luck with the build Painless,
I have always fancied one but they strike me as being very fragile so when I have seen them on sale I have always walked away.

Good morning my friend,
I have ideas concerning the fragile LED guns. These include mounting the Maxon turret in a trailer to be towed ( connected with a Tamiya type electical plug ) and the vehicle converted into a troop carrier with ring mounted .50. Also, replacing the plastic barrels with screw in metal ones. Anyway, ideas. ;o)
regards,
Painless
