It is "alive", my lumbering IR fighter.

:D

...and my JT, my backyard battlefield, thus my "rules", so I can put the IR receiver anywhere I want.

So, not really a legal club rc battle model, concepted to fun run against the kids in our "hood" and not let them easily win.

Plus, I am not ready to delete the commanders hatch and stick the "Apple" in it. The JT paint is "out of the box" and to lazy this year to do anything about that.

:haha:

Enjoy, John

Recoil: I am using a Futaba Servo, secured with "Great Planes Servo Tape (sourced from Amazon)" operating a "empty" Torro JT recoil housing. The receiver base and battle unit are mounted to the right rear on the model. See the "first" photo above.
