hey guys, ive been working on something thats not quite finished but otherwise works well, and really is something for IR battles... but more for a bit of fun!

its a hl transmitter, with the turret joystick removed and put on extended cabels, and the fireing button extnded also, and all put in its own box,

the aim of all this is to have 2 people controlling one tank, therefor more realistic. one person controlls the tank's driving and machinegun, and the other the turret and firing command.

just a fun and fairly easy mod, if your good with a soldering iron. ;D

cheer, ill let the picture speak for themsleves,

Matt ;D ;D

Now all you have to do is blindfold the driver and shout commands at him!  ;D

I have tried that and they either both canceled each other out or the nearest one to the model took sole command of the model, Matt's idea is the better option in my opinion

Hi Matt,
            Nice job. This is an idea we have talked about many times in Danville, Va at the AAF Tank Museum battlefield. I would love to see some video on youtube for your 2 man tank in battle. It would be very realistic and require great communication skills.
Keep up the good work.
