M45 on M20 Meat Chopper Trailer (using torro quad)
Posted: Mon Jan 24, 2022 11:22 am
So as part of a deal i done with a mate, i got myself hold of a Torro 1/16 quad gun unit. Not sure why, but it looked cool.
Then i was left what to do with it, so i designed a trailer kit for it to fit around and try to use the gun unit without having to modify it too much.
Tyres were an option before i looked into TPU, so i sourced some cool looking tyres from the Playmobil catalogue haha
The trailer itself can be towed, or it can be propped up on some axles stands which rotate and fold out, so it could be used as a static setup.
I also managed to re-purpose a WPL transmitter and receiver board so that it also is still RC, although i hven't bothered getting lights to flash or any sounds as yet.
Waiting to see what Catherine does with it for paint, should look cool modeled up and if i can get a gunner in there aswell
Just a small little thing to add to my own personal collection.
I did at one point try and see if i could find some other quad guns to put together a few more for sale, but they seem just not to be available
Maybe some day i might try and make my own quad unit, but we will see. For now at least i just having a little fun with some of my own projects which is a bit overdue
