Looking at getting a Takom Renault FT-17 and making it in to a RC Tank but not sure how to do it
I'm looking at getting a cheap smaller scale RC Tank and striping the electrics out of it for it

Re: FT-17 conversion
Have a look at 35rctank.com, they have electronics and motors on there for 1/35 and small 1/16 projects.

Re: FT-17 conversion
If I'm not mistaken someone on the forum ( no surprise) completed and sold one of these in the past year. I don't recall who the maestro was but if anyone remembers that would be a big help. 
Tanks alot....

Re: FT-17 conversion
I posted a thread of the wee teapot Renault FT 17 last year here:
viewtopic.php?t=20576
Unfortunately, a link from Rad to an excellent build thread has been ruined by Photopox blocking all the pics in it. But there's still a link to an interesting Youtube video on a working FT 17 (1/16 scale) at the bottom of the thread. It's a good starting point
Give it a click.

Hiya
I sold my unfinished conversion on the forum last year. I managed to squeeze one of the Tamiya mini rc twin gearboxes into the tank. You will need to get the rc gear fronm 35.com as a Rx 18 wont fit.
