    Wouldn't it be a kick to drive onto a club IR battlefield with something like these? Especially if it's at a club that takes itself very seriously!

        Those look great. I wonder if anyone ever did large scale models of the tanks from Hammer’s Slammers scfi books by David Drake? Being hovercraft 1/16 scale rc might have problems with terrain though.

            So many of the Warhammer tanks are built on one of two chassis, with them sometimes just reversed or inverted! Imagine if two 1/16 chassis could be made. It'd bring a whole new group of tankers into the fold.

                    First is a T34...second looks like a Panther...third is German (probably a King Tiger), and the fourth is an M10 I think.

                        Not a joke or anything, but I wanted to share something that didn't need a whole new topic. I needed some connectors, including some XT60's, because I'm replacing those cursed Tamiya plugs. I found the following on Amazon. They have a ridge to make disconnecting easier and they have shrouds to cover your solder joints, eliminating the need for shrink tubing. The shrouds snap on and can be pried off if necessary.12 pair for $8, a LOT cheaper than our local hobby store. They are called XT60H. I checked, and they are completely interchangeable with the originals.

                            I use those plugs on all my tanks. I think I'm scoring them from Flea Bay or Amazon,.. There great, and yea, Tamiya plugs sux.

                              So what could r/c modelers make with this? It and similars are on AliExpress. Search Arduino Tank Chassis...

                                Use those as well, quite handy. I actually shoot some hot glue to seal off where the wires pass thru the grey/black push caps.

                                  Could use it to make a model of the cybertanks from the old Ogre game by Steve Jackson. Oh, and also of the tanks from a more recent sci-fi novel: Armored Tears by Mark Kalina.
