nice

 

Does it fire BB pellets at all ?

[marzman]

Please tell me this fires something...

[GMballistic]

That is flippin' awesome!!

Love R/c vehicles and always wanted a decent tank but they're not cheap so generally opt for spending my money on vehicles I can ride in.

 

Have you seen the ones that can actually fire shells Mark? Think the one I first saw probably a decade ago was hand made in Germany.

Something like below but I'm sure the one I first saw was a 1/5th scale.

Amazing love it. 50kg. You wouldn't want that driving into your leg!

[Mopedmark]

Brilliant

[JEMAN]

LOL It was made to order. This one was originally owned by the M.O.D along with one other. They attached a frame onto the turret to mount a camera on and used them for some form of training ! The guy who had it has restored it back to how you see it now. Ive got to add some stowage detail and sound system to replicate the gas turbine engines and that sounds amazing.....once complete videos will be added

[gsexr]

Awesome mate just awesome

[Payco]

Puts my two petrol rc cars to shame.I have a petrol copter too but this tank looks very impressive.As others have asked we need a video of it in action.Maybe get it to push a smart car off the road.

You'll be looking at a four figure number all day long for something like that from what I know. If it was less than that it was a bargain.

[JEMAN]

No worries.....I paid £800 for it and that was a good price considering they start at £2200 or with some of the extras £2800 ! HAPPY DAYS But there is one on ebay identical Type in 1/8 rc tank...........come on guys join me
