Patton tank conversion

I have been switching over to RC buggy racing and just do not have the time for the tanks anymore. I am going to be selling a few here. I am hesitant to ship outside the US.

The first one up is a Monagram Patton tank clone based off a Henglong M26 Pershing tank. Motors relocated for drive position more resembling the old Patton. The tank still needs a bit of tweaking on the turret rotation servo. Elevation and recoil servos in position and functioning. The radio is a 6 channel and it is set up for IR with the Clark Board that comes with it. Hit sensors have not been placed. A lot of work went into this to make it come together, I would love to see someone get some good use out of it.

palepainter@gmail.com is best way to get me or on my cel in at 303 525 4156 300 plus shipping

Welcome back, Doc! How goes your Airbrushing business? Not into tanks anymore? Well, never say never. Dune buggys are fun I'll bet in speed and off roading capability but tanks will always be there. ;o) That is a Beauty of a Patton! Like you say, just a bit of tweaking to have something unique and special. I'm in the middle of that 1/6 Stuart I've been going on about for years or you would have that sold easily *winks* I suspect it will not be up for long. Take care and do not be a stranger round here. We do have a sub forum for cars and trucks and with the new 1/16 WPL RC truck series out, off roading is just the beginning of it....
regards,
Painless

Hey Mr Wolf. How have you been. I am keeping my main battler, but getting rid of a few others. How is the new location treating you?

Pale!
Outside of a giant wildfire earlier this month that had us on the edge of evac for over a week, Life has been a permanent vacation down here. I have to remember every day that I am not retired yet and still have lots to do. Very few people, Nature abundant and peace and quiet on a scale that I have never seen.... I am glad to hear that you are keeping a tank or two for fun. ;o)
regards,
Painless
