Clone tanks
I Have just bought some Combat hero tanks.About the same size as the Konami ones(if no exactly the same)They have 2 motors but are radio control. About 1/4" narower and 1/4" shorter.My original idea was to take all the guts out of the Combat hero tanks and shoe horn them into the other.The Combat hero are rear wheel drive with 2 sets of reduction gears in one box and the other is front wheel drive(with Diferencial gear) The gearbox in the Combat hero is slightly big,but can probably be sawn in half. Have to put them in the front, the turret motor and gears are in the back. Along with all the mountings.The problem as I see it would be to convert the turret turning bit to left/right turning via two motors(they probably just reverse polarity, or something like that to get the tracks turning in opposite directions). The rest of the scheme that I have is even more hare brained but have run ouy of space here.
