O.K. boys I am finally getting around to putting this one up for sale as I have no time to work on it at all and someone could have something very unique and cool! I bought this as you see it. I have done nothing to it other than pop a track and a wheel off to size up putting bearings in.. I bought it from a friend who was going through a rough spot and needed some cash. I think the IBU alone is worth $150.00. It took him 2 years to build and he really did put a lot of effort into it. I love that the smoker actually smokes out the little muffler! LOL! Really should get it out of here as I have no time at all to work on it. I do have the bearings I was planning to install, and the turret set up needs to be improved a little, but other than that pretty cool. It has an IBU installed with sound, the smoker as mentioned, servo steering so at least it acts the part of turning but it is really the metal tracks that do all the work. What he did for the wheels was slice a hose and fit it to the wheels. My plan was to replace the existing ones as they are beginning to crack. I was either going to do the same thing but with better rubber or enlist a 3D printing guru to make me some rubber slip ons. I probably paid too much for it so I am open to reasonable offers! Any questions at all let me know!

Price: Would like $600.00 ... :O

Know I won't get it but there, we now have a price... :haha:

It started out as a Century 21 which is a large 1/18. We use their vehicles all the time on our field and they look very much the part with our 1/16 tanks... :thumbup:

Terry? Maybe... :think:

Terry is Jackalope. If that's the one he built it's a sweet piece and someone is gonna get a good deal. He put a ton of work into that, and I believe a bit more than the asking price.
