I certainly wouldn't like to come up against it! 
This is the South African Rooikat armoured car.





It's big, it's fast, it's well armoured, and it is designed to take out a T55.
If I knew anything about RC cars/trucks I would definitely have a go at building this.

wow, that is awsome man!! deffinatly worth a try in 1/16

that is a nice looking bit of kit, what size gun is it?, it would be great for going shopping in

The original version was fitted with the 76mm Cockerill, the export version has the 105mm GT7.
The specs of this thing are as impressive as it looks,

Do any of the RC car/truck builders out there think a scratch build would be possible by
joining 2 4wd chassis together?

hi all

i think the italian army have sometig almost the same ..and trumpeter have doin it in 1/35 ... so easy to scale up .. just a question of running gear

would not mind a shot at makeing it !

a link to trumpeters website

http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/n ... mpeter.htm

have a quick look

Nice find on the trumpeter site.
I've PM'd one of the RC car experts on this forum to see what they think
should be used for the runing gear. I was thinking of joining 2 4WD chassis
but I'll wait and see what the experts say. 

Cheers

Tamiya do some nice diffs for there truck range and ones that even have CV joints for stearing on 6X4's. It could be done

Ah did you have to show me this?  ::)  Your not gonna believe thsi but in my office ive four wheels that are juuust the right size , now, all in a line!  Tammy running gear would be too big though. Rest would be a pice of pi, sorry cake. Time to dig out the plasticard.

Needs to be faaast though. Time to have a dig throughteh r/c car options

Go for it Rocketman, and keep us posted on progress.
