A 1/8th Scale Russian T-90c
Modern MBT Re-done
“I recently
traded an R/C Armory Tiger for an un-built Russian T-90c available through Armor Group South. Upon inspection I was appalled at the
shoddy design, materials and construction of the lower hull, gearbox and
entire driveline system. The upper hull and turret were very nice and worth
saving. I am in the process of creating a new lower hull and drive system.
The wheels and tracks will be used from the original model. I will be in
touch with more photos of the progress soon.” Direct questions to… info@copterworks.com
This rescue effort is a work in
progress of Mr. GARNIK GHALOOSTIAN.
Completely Scratch-built 1/8th scale hull and
driveline.
The gear-head automotive motors installed.
Garnik told me the OEM fiberglass hull was warped. The new
hull is arrow-shaft straight!
Welds are first class and run the length of the hull for
structural integrity.
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.
