Not a tank (but I'm working my way in that direction...)

And in case you are wondering... The box behind the drivers seat is an FPV camera. This was my biggest triumph for the build. The camera and transmitter are enclosed in two stacked 1/6 scale SAM missile launcher cases. Not WWII but you can't have everything. It's functional, and it's a pretty darn good disguise! The labels add some degree of "authenticity" but were otherwise just for fun!

Is that the Roc Hobby offering or a Dragon version?

Very cool either way. I have the Roc Hobby 1/12th scale.

:clap: :clap: :clap: That is a superb Jeep with great stowage! I will be delighted to see some videos. And thank you for the useful URLs.

I see ca. 25F for Kentucky today…about 20F more than here today, but cold enough to ruin outdoor RC fun.
