Excellent,I could not inlarge the picture of the hull components but seems it is very custom.Would like to know more about the reverse buckets and how they are actuated? Really cool custom build,Blake

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?
