I really needed this thing like I need to pull another year in Iraq , but I got it any way . Its a 1/9 scale M1A2 remote controlled the deminsons are 3 feet long X 16inches wide and its a foot tall . The battery has to charge for 18 hours so its going to be some time tomorrow before I get to fire this bad boy up .

Thats a 1/35 M1A1 in the fore ground the 1/9th and a 1/1 scale 5 year old
Once I get it charged up and going I'll probaly convert the main gun to a 12 guage and use it for deer hunting .

Toad,
I wonder about reoil forces. A 12 gauge would have a bit of a kick.How much does that weigh?The M1.Not the 1:1 tadpole!

Maybe you could convert it into a 12 guage shooting lawnmower that would be one hog of a machine!(++)

Methinks some duct tape and Bailing wire will be necessary for such an operation as a 12gauge-wielding-2-in-1-anti-neighbor-dog-and-lawnmower-thingy.....


oh best include a bottle-rocket laucher to deal with those pesky anthills......
