Has anybody here built a rc 1/6 scale Pershing tank in steel? I would like to find some print and suggestions on drive systems. If somebody has any ideas I would appreciate it. Thanks, Pat

Pat,
Electric motors are the simplest way to go. I prefer 250W-450W geared scooter motors running at 24V. I use 25P or 40P chain to connect the motors to the drive sprockets. These are the form factor I like because they are compact, but they aren't cheap. If you shop around you can find them cheaper, but not by much.

You can find pics of them installed in my KV-1 1/6th thread:
