Hey I like the Sheridan ! I have a fondness for the 152mm Gun/Launcher........ Like the M60A2. Also now you can make a Caddy Stingray or US DoD Vismod T-72 ! |

| Not really a tank. More like a M113 with a turret.......... |

| Pre-Assembled tracks with rubber pads already installed = lots of saved time... but 3 motors? 2 x Drive? Turret rotation? |

| Well, if you count motors, then there could be up to 5, 2 for driving, 1 for rotation, 1 for elevation and in Tamiya's case one for recoil.
I heard that there will be new electronics with this tank, so maybe some kind of servo (about time !) but then I would imagine they would want to advertise that instead of 3 motors.
The turret is very small and thin, so there is probably some combo unit for recoil and elevation. |

| The body of M151 is made by aluminum as same as M113. This tank is used by US Army in Vietnam war |
