RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi,

For the guys checking the Show Off section, this is the Tamiya Static M551 Sheridan converted to RC with Clark TK60 board, Mato gearbox and other cheaper items found on the market for turret rotation, gun recoil, flash and sound. I added a more complete Vietnam style commander's birdcage cupola armor, turret stowage basket. belly armor, crew, infantry riders and other accessories. Cupola movement, gun flash and sound were also given to the commander's M2 machine gun. The scene features a tank of the 11th ACR in the Vietnam war. The build can be seen in the modern build section viewtopic.php?f=202&t=29850.

Holy cow! That is amazingly crazy realistic. TOTM preview. Now I’m going to go back and study the photos some more.

A Superb exterior concealing a superb, and ultra-neat interior, Louis. Then again, we have come to expect nothing less.
I must say, that's the second time lately that I've seen those stylish Mato gearboxes. Now, I'm trying to resist that age-old 'Must have some of those'!! urge.

Another ground breaking standard of achievement, all thats missing is the humidity !!
