I bought 2 Hextronix Servos for the turret's mechanism. Each of these servos weight around 9 gram and can lift up to 1.6kg/cm. More specs here.

3D Drawing for Conceptual Design

Downloaded a nice 3D drawing of the Abrams drawn by Loupie using the handy Google Sketchup. Well, I'll be editing and testing all the conceptual design on this drawing board prior to the actual modification. Good design practice !

Laser Targeting System - Intro

Well, basically this build is the easiest of all. The idea is to have a laser beam to guide or assist the turret during targeting. I'll be using a safe class 1 laser beam from a laser pointer for this purpose. There is a nice spot on the machine gun turret located just next to the main turret to snug in the unit. More on the installation process soon.

British Challenger 2 Tank

Here's a nice video on the British Challenger 2 Tank. Hopefully, in future we will be able to get the 1:12 scale model.

M1A2 Basic Maneuvering

This is the 1st video recorded for the tank in factory stock setting. The standard controls are kind of sluggish and unresponsive, however it is still possible to perform some basic maneuvering.
