    Beautiful. The movement in the turret is great. It brings the AMC to life. When it rolls out of the work shop and the turret moves it appears to come to a life of its own. I liked the skirt around the turret. When it pulls up towards the end the turret skirt looks like a big smile. 😊

      Stewart Harris Ok! My experience is that suspension adds a lot to the vehicle, and it isn't that costly either. Just some nuts and bolts and springs from a hardware store. Whatever your decision will be, it's going to be an awesome project. Good luck!

    I have just found your channel and am absolutely amazed, after looking at so many videos of people "building RC tanks only to find they are actually only assembling a very expensive kit. I intend to build something myself now in retirement, I was thinking something simple to start with and always liked the WW1 whippet. Would love to know how you control those drill motors with the RC.

    • @builtbyWikander
      @builtbyWikander  4 роки тому +14

      Thank you very much for those kind words! As for controlling the motors, I use two ESC's, one for each motor, connected to two channels on my 8 channel reciever. The tracks can then be controlled individually, either by using two sticks on the radio, or by mixing the radio so that you accelerate and steer with one stick. It's like having a setup for two remote controlled cars in one tank.
      The Whippet would make an awesome model, and as you say, would fit a more simpler approach. If you haven't already, check out rctankcombat.com , I have learned a lot from those guys.
