Well, better to lose a BB than an eye!

About the Heng Long turret...There are a lot of things wrong with using the Heng Long turret. One big one is that the turret 'ring' is off center...not sure that the Tamiya turret is. You will also need to figure out how to make the Tamiya rotation unit work with it or how to mount the Heng Long turret motor. And then there is that turret bin...

I may have misread, but why are you changing sub standard HL parts onto a Tamiya??!

Firstly. It's a toy.
Secondly. I can't afford the Tamiya parts.

Well this is going to continue annoying the purists.
I didn't say the process would be pretty so be warned.

Getting stronger. Turret motor fits! Now for the easy bit... Almost there, bit of tweaking to do.

Holy poop! It works!

Well I can't get the next video to upload but if you fancy seeing it moving under its own steam...

You ain't kidding, just found it right next to where my wife was sat! Lucky escape all round.

It occurs to me that this may be better placed in the 'other builds' area. Any mod fancy moving it please?
