There is already a topic about this in paintball ideas but people have started to build them so this is more than an idea now. A turret with a reciever from an RC car with servos used to fire and turn the turret remotely. I have designed the turning mechanism and you can look at the paintball ideas forum for the trigger.  Any suggestions on bettering the design or a new one would help PS i tested the circuitry and it works on a small scale EDIT: base design  EDIT: circuit i made  ------------- Chuck Norris doesnt read books, he stares them down untill he gets the information he wants. |

This seems like a good idea. I have a few RC servos and a controller that I don't use, so I might have to work on a remote controlled gun of my own. I have a couple of questions though... Are you going to use a remote so you don't have to worry about weight of the tank? And do you know what kind of motor your going to use? Sounds like you've got a good start though. ------------- 98 Custom Flatline Cyclone Feeder Rocket Cock II BT Double Trigger Pen spirng mod Drop Forward Rear Velocity Adjuster Other Setups: Lapco 12" Bigshot Beadblasted Adjustable Stock |

added base design yes i was thinking of a remote to get the tank weight off then just lay the tank on the ground There could be problems when it turns with the remote getting tangled though... ------------- Chuck Norris doesnt read books, he stares them down untill he gets the information he wants. |

It would be badass to see one of those off-road RC trucks with nothing but a marker on the chassis, then something like this over the barrel: http://www.rc-cam.com/rc-cam0.htm - http://www.rc-cam.com/rc-cam0.htm ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

Oh and i found the reciever i need its $32 but they have to order a new crystal for it so i will build next saturday. ------------- Chuck Norris doesnt read books, he stares them down untill he gets the information he wants. |

it shouldnt be too hard to get it working. now a camera would make it complicated But i think the whole servo and receiver thing is pretty easy ------------- Chuck Norris doesnt read books, he stares them down untill he gets the information he wants. |

UPDATE I have the base of the turret made but I had to go with a square design instead of a triangle because my stupid mitor box doesnt cut 30* or 60* angles.  Anyone have any suggestions on ways to cut these angles accurately without a mitor box? EDIT: Ok the tripod (with four legs ) should be done by tomorrow evening. I figured out the angle thing BTW------------- Chuck Norris doesnt read books, he stares them down untill he gets the information he wants. |
