These are pictures of my scratch built LVTP-7.

Here are the rest of the photos.

Very cool indeed,lots of detailing and the paint scheme is first rate.But I must ask does it float and drive in water? Brilliant work

Yes, it does. It has two Graupner mini jets in it with custom made brass reverse buckets. All four motors are brushless and have their own ESC for independent operation. It has 3 LED light systems, bilge pump, air cooling, and smoke for the exhaust.

What scale is it and if you dont mind where did you get the running gear?

Very cool

It is 1/16 scale and the running gear has come from many sources. LHS for the motors and ESC's, RCtankwars for the new brass gears, RC command for the road wheels and track, Etc,Etc. I used what I knew would do what I needed done. It is all a Hodge poge of parts, but it works. Anything I couldn't fine easily I made from scratch. All of the springs for the suspension were hand made using piano wire as a base, then hardened and tempered.

Thanks for the good comments!

Hi mate , very nice . Luv to see it in the water .

There is a short movie file of it in the water at RCGroups.com. It should be available in the boat and tank movie sections there. I do not know how to post it in this forum, or I would post it here also.

Very nice I like it a lot you done a good job of it and its water tight too.
