@MrFirecat219 Captured British tank ( Beute means booty ).

Love the tank, doing one myself from a Emhar kit, how were the tracks made and from what material. Great if you made a video on how you built it. Keep up the good work.

@BC312 Tracks are made from a strip cut from a thin vinyl mat with anchor spikes. Have to tailor make the drive sprocket wheel to match. Not keen on how-to video because just too many new projects in the pipeline.

lol that was a britsh tank in ww1 it was the named the mark 1

[ppplll000999]

@RECON116m Mark 1 had huge trailing steering wheels & less roof structures . Mark IV had thicker armour , more roof structures & no trailing steering wheels. German captured this from the British & called it booty tank (Beute Panzer).

Very nice job! I can imagine it wasn't easy.

Hi, I have several 1/16th scale R/C tanks and I've always wanted a WWI tank. This is awesome. Did you convert a plastic kit? More details please.

[ppplll000999]

@timbonjovi It is an extreme difficult RC conversion of the Emhar plastic kit from England. Treads have to be tailored made, as well as the gears' set-up to suit the peculiar power train axles far from tank body. Difficulty 4 & a half out of a 5.

what a nice tank,well done!

I think this a great video and excellent rc conversion.

It's rare RC action because nobody else would bother to attempt and make (much less film) such a thing.

Dont get me wrong though, i love it :D
