1/6 Paintball Combat Tanks

[showa]

I use the .688 which is the easiest to get a used (read cheap) gun to cut up for fitting in the space provided.... I have not heard how the .50 works but I have heard that testing of the .40 was not favorable. They tended to be erratic in aim and did not break consistantly upon contact....

Keep in mind that the paintball tanks were origionaly built to be as cheap as possible... Mainly because the guys who started it are just that way (cheap).....
It has become somewhat of a game to see who can produce things like tracks and controls the cheapest.... Plus they take a beating during a battle...
All in fun of course...

Finally got time to work on the Humvee. It is a 21st Century sporting a Sabertooth 2x25 electronic speed control and a Hobby King 2.4ghz wheel radio. Relocated the battery from the rear body to mid frame for better balance. Steering servo is a large scale metal gear Futaba.

The over sized coffee can is to transport supplies safely past confused enemies.

Runs pretty good in the desert but I need to work on the suspension to try and smooth it out more.

This is my future target that runs but needs to get a couple more things operational before we battle.
