Readers display their Custom R/C Tanks
Our third R/C tanker is Mr. Garnik Ghaloostian. “I live Near San
Fernando, California USA. I design and build R/C helicopters for use as
flying camera platforms by the Hollywood movie industry. My business is
called CopterWorks at http://www.copterworks.com/.
As a designer, I have a problem with things that don’t work or hold up as
they should. I was disappointed in the Tamiya tank’s transmissions
reliability. I have designed a fix for the Tamiya Tiger and Sherman
Transmissions. This upgrade can be seen at my other company, http://www.armourconcepts.com.
The tank shown below is my own conception and is full R/C function.”
Completely Scratch-built 1/8th U.S. Army Abrams
Main Battle Tank.
The entire tank is made from metal.
Garnik told me that this monster weighs in excess of 121
pounds!
Readers are encouraged to display their
big scale R/C tanks. Submit photos and a something about yourself to Desert
Tankers, Las Vegas, I.P.M.S.
