Cheers Adam, i was a bit worries with the side scopes facing slightly forward, but testing with the target tank shows it takes hits all round.

I am considering upgrading the motors to give it a bit more top speed.

Nice one Tom, I bitterly regret selling mine, they run like a dream, and yours looks pretty damned good with the armour.

Some how I found some spare time. So on with the t55! Added the excellent 3d printed recoil bracket, no more barrel twist. (Thanks Stian). Also received some bits from Christian, fiddly butnall fit together nicely and well worth it! Last bit is some fuel lines which should add that little bit of detail.

Tom this is looking fantasticWell engineered as usual

[Ad Lav]

Does look very cool!

Glad you got the upgraded recoil stuff. Works a lot better.

Teeny weeny bit more done on the t55, fitting some lovely metal cleats from Christian, also made up a new barrel rain cover. Need to figure a way of painting it without loosing the flexibility of the material. I've got the metal IR spot light of chris too so starting to test fit that and the laser range finder.

Very promising tank. What is that recoil and elevation unit from? Is it t55 specific?

[c.rainford73]

Very very nice
