The CAN-AM RC Tank Club is a group of remote control tank enthusiasts that meet together to run our tanks on a miniature battlefield and conduct simulated battles using Infrared combat systems.
Thanks to Dean again and picked up another 1/6 AFV, this time a C21 M2 Bradley. Hopefully to be able to RC it, looks quite details. Sorry already took the tank apart and Dean ask for a picture so here it is. Looks like it has been hit by a T-90 rounds somewhere in Ukraine. It is also my favour variant, the original M2A1 with the round edge side armour skirt.
Looks like it has been weathered by being a shelf queen for about 20 years. Thank god all the details are intact. It was just wrapped in bubble wrap and filled with popcorns in a tall wardrobe box from Home Depot........... You got to love these 1/6 shipping methods. My M5A1 showed up in a large microwave oven box.

Managed to get this baby RC as much as I can. Scratched built a belt driven rotation unit out of a 12 v worm gearbox and 3D printer belt, an old school servo elevation, and also two 12v direct drive worm gearbox for the motors. The problem with the direct drive is that you have to try different RPMs and torque loads to figure out which set works best, so thank god for Amazon no hassle return policy. Also kept the interior driver compartment details. There is also interior details for the back loading area.
Also added servo control to the TOW launcher, but needed a UBEC to make it work with a Clark board as they don't supply enough sustained power to the receiver to drive these larger servos. The joy of 1/6 scale.
