Hi, Here's some pics of my latest tank build. The hull and turret are made from 3mm ply from stermat stores, and the wheels from 8mm ply. There's a few more pics yet to come. Regards Geoff C.

The two switches in the front half are for left and right Turret, and the two switches in the rear are kill switches for each motor for steering. The forwards and back is controlled by Bobs Board and servo. Regards, Geoff.
