so i started making a crab version of a russ, after some discussion and a dig through my bits box i have desided on powering the crab drive with an elecrtic motor housed in a sponson on the right side of the tank i had to remove the hull lazcannon, and cover the front with a plate (acrualy sits about the same angle as a tiger 2) i couldnt figure how to mount the battery(AA) in the tank so i could repplace it when its dead so u built a trailer
all i have left to do is build the actual crab mecanism and complete the gearing and finish the trailer and do the wiring,
and yes pics are coming soon

Have you condiered Tamiya? They sell small electric motors with adjustable gearboxes, so you can change up your ratio, the whole thing is only a few inches long and can be made shorter by removing sections of the gearbox.

the only prob is the motor is in the tank and the gear box is at the end of the shaft about 4 inches away

got all the wiring done, i pulled the battery pack out of a fountain (the kind grandmas have) mounted that into the bottom of the russ, and wired in a switch so i can turn it off (so thats what switches do  ) now all i have to do is find the gear pieces i need and build the flail and drum on the turret i shortened the barrel by cutting the center section out, then added a laz cannon to the turret, in the little add on piece in the side, and have been using my soldering iron on the edges to make it look like the russ is welded instead of sandcast( turret and hull) i left the sides alone cause they look like they are riveted. i will try and post some pictures.(yes i know i need to do a bunch cause i fell behind) |

the missle launcher is for a sentinal conversion and the close combat one is for a killa kan
