RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Had a break from building tanks for a while and ended up building this i think i will stick with tanks in the future as they are easier to find room for, this thing is over 5 foot long

great job keith, i love it

Beautiful work.
I really did it.

Great work , is it a kit ? If so what are details.
Thought mine was good....

But like yours better
Alan

thats a special thing you have there. very nice, did it start out as a Wedico truck?

Thanks for the comments guys, and Alan you have done a great job yourself, i think the yankie trucks look great

This one started life as this

it is a Bruder truck that was quite toy like before the make over, the generator unit was scratch built as was the trailer, apart from the rear axles which are from a Bruder low loader trailer, then i painted it olive drab and give it a good weathering.

Unfortunatly it is not RC (yet) so if anybody has any knowledge on how to RC a Bruder truck, im all ears

Cheers Keith

Thanks for the info Keith, well at least mine is RC, the cab is a 1/14 scale Tam King Hauler,
like the Tam tanks, it has great engine starting and running sounds, plus air brake, gear change and reversing beeper noise.
The low loader is a converted Bruder flat bed trailer , (that name is obviously familiar to you).
The low loader has repeater, working tail,brake,reversing and indicator lights as on the cab.
Still working (when I get a chance) on getting the ramps to operate via RC.

Kieth, I would love to see a built thread? But if that's not possible I understand. Excellent job,I'm very impressed really like the entire vehicle especially the trailer.

Alan, your build is likewise impressive.Peterbuilt?

Cheers Blake

I'll have to give it some thought oneday.

I'm thinking this would be a nice project. No fancy steering needed and could be 4WD.
