RC tank model making

Book excerpt: RC tank models are particularly popular with many model makers, which is probably due to the technology and the completely different control method of these models. Tracked vehicle models are mostly all-metal models, but a combined construction of metal and plastic has also become popular, especially for kits. Now, it is not everyone's cup of tea to handle metal. Not every model maker has the knowledge, the manual skills and the technical equipment to build a tank model and to install the necessary electronics. For this group of interested people, the author describes the do-it-yourself construction of tank models with the help of kits.
