Hello,
my latest model is finished....
The chassis is from Tamiya Centurion.
A special gearbox with 540 brushless was installed here, and I parameterized the mixers on the transmitter.
For the sound and additional functions a Beier USMRC-3 is responsible .
I drew the turret in Fusion360 and produced it in several segments using 3D printing.

Here are some more pictures of the model:

Nice build!

Also that square housing is for the primary gun sight not a coaxial machine gun.

Cool build. Might see more of them now that they are available as a 3D printed version.

Oh, my! You have triumphed again! What an unusual AFV. I had to resort to Dr. Google:

Apart from your model being unique, the video shows it to be remarkably smooth running. I am impressed by what can be accomplished with the Beier Module.
