RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

I can see where you're coming from with the desire to have a Bradley Barry, I have the 21st Century model made RC by Andrew Haya. And even though it started life as a toy, it still looks impressive for an AIFV

Its interesting to understand how the AIFV side firing ports were important requirement in the 70s and early 80s (BMP, Marder, Bradley..), and then disappeared on their subsequent versions. They would have been useful in an apocalypse to shot at zombies standing on the side of the road, but otherwise, its difficult to understand what the designer had in mind. The difficulty of aiming at anything through the periscope and the weak point they create in the armor are obvious. They were probably designed for handling the civil unrests of the 70s than keeping enemy tank killer teams in check in a rear war.

That not correct, I know a guy with one which I don't think is the prototype.

Barry, probably worth a chat with Carson to see what they can do

Thanks Tom!

There is no trace of a Bradley on the DKLM website, and on their Facebook pagethere are only a couple of YouTube videos in December 2018 showing what I guess is the prototype. One final test run in January 2019. Pretty much the last question was "How much?". That question still remains unanswered

Man, the videos show what would appear to be a very promising RC Bradley.

Too bad, I would have bought one in a minute.

I'm going to query Carson but with all the turmoil in HK I'm not sure I'll get a reply. I ordered a M2 50cal mount months ago an though I received about 2 1/2 months later without issue beyond the slow shipping process he never answered any of my emails about the order.

I have a close friend who lives and works in Hong Kong and he says it's a mess over there. I have always had good communications with Carson so I suspect his world is "topsy turvy".

From his Facebook page, Carson has been having treatment to his cervical spine. Most of his posts seem to be political or about Covid. If you have a presence on Facebook it could be worth messaging him there. As a side issue, the M2. 50 cal looks fantastic, at a price

Not a Facebook member. Politics is at the forefront over there for certain!
The Twin 50cal Mount is a little pricey but needed for my M155 Sheridan build to come later.

It has never been posted on DKLM's website for public sale. I visit their website regularly and I'm subscribed to DKLM's FB page. There has never been an announcement that it is for sale. If someone has one, they paid Carson to do it on commission. I personally would consider that a one off (or a preliminary model on which others are developed from - IE: prototype). So my statement is correct that they have never offered it for sale. Offering for purchase and making upon request are two different things. Whether or not it is a prototype would be debatable. Tom is right that Carson has sold things that are not offered to the general public on their website. Take that Tom...lol
