The reverse buckets are made of brass sheet and operated by servos. I will post the build pictures in the other builds section as soon as I re-size them.

I just went to it and it worked. What browser are you using? Try this link if the other one dosn't work for you. I uploaded it again one of these should work.

Went up to the AAF Tank Museum in Danville Va. last Saturday and had a blast at the RC Tank battle. I took both of my LVT's, but stripped a gear in the LVT 4 just before starting it out onto the field. Sooo, I ran the LVTP-7 most of the day. Here is a you tube link to some video of the day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yfWZKMIXHU" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; there is a lot more than my stuff on it, but its all good.

It was a blast for me. I will be returning and I am trying to figure out a way to put a battle unit in my scratch builds. I do not use HL or Tamyia boards, just a receiver and ESC's. All I really need is some way to indicate that I've taken a hit. Anyone have any ideas on how to do it?
