    Great build, David!!! This must be Andy's Hobby HQ's M8 Greyhound. I love this kit, and I have two of them. One of them is being converted to a six wheel drive RC vehicle. Here's an image of the almost finished frame with the differentials.I hope to get back to work on it after my Tongde M24 is finished.
    I initially had only 1 static M8 Andy's HQ armor car. I wanted it to be RC. I handed it to my buddy Carlos and asked him to convert it into RC for me. It was too fragile for him to do it. So he decided to print one out, installed the RC set and gave it to me. Such a great pal. Now I have 2 M8 armor cars.​

    • First time messing around with ChatGPT. Asked for a Mad Max style. Not the same as running them, and taking proper photos. But a bit of fun.

        OMG!!! David, that's an amazing RC 3DP M8 Greyhound!!! Are the tire/wheels 3DP as well, or what and where did Carlos get them??? That's what I want for my M8. Yes, the kit is very fragile, but I'll be extra careful with it when I get it running not to crash into anything!!! It's great to have talented friends who can help us out, isn't it?

          OMG!!!!! Meter Rat!!!!! That Tiger is even more brutal than the original!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          All the spikes make me think of the M4 Shermans that were used by the US Marines in the PTO during WW-II. They had nails welded all over the turrets and hatches to keep the Japs off of the tanks. I'm willing to bet quite a few were shish kabobbed on those nails!!!

            Let’s just get one thing straight. I’ve never been a Tiger guy, or a Sherman, or WW2 person. I only built this because I was bullied.

                Just to prove I really don’t like them. I did a second one as a family member tribute. Tiger 1 captured by the Sherwood Rangers at Rauray France.

                      David, I'm sure you're driving your M8 around, how is the traction with the 3DP tires? If it is, maybe I could get away with using Andy's model kit wheels/tires for a short time. I'm hoping that Torro will have the M16 wheels/tires for sale as spare parts.

                      • Here's an off topic question that I couldn't find an answer for, so I thought this would be a good thread to ask. I see many threads that have been liked. How is a thread given those likes??? I don't see a way to do it!!!
