brushless was an option but I only ever used that as the option for RC flight (gave up, long story). Could you offer any guidance in regard to using brushless for that size model ?

This is my scratch build German WW2 field tractor, ongoing process but does drive and currently undergoing a gearbox rebuild as the old drill motors felt the pain on tight turns.. Also has new prototype body from the Version 3 which I think only a few were ever in filed use.
Has sound and lights. A combination of 3d printed parts and aluminium, all the drives shafts are with bearings along with the road wheels.. Still a way to go, but time ain't the issue I hope. Although nothing is a given ..

Got the hull for this form a person whom had it in a junk pile, glassed inside with crap and car filler. Did my very best to rescue the hull and spent a whie pulling and rotary tool removing as much as I could, had a few ideas what to creat from it so as is a WIP.
Its beeb a while since on here but now things are beginning to find a level we'll see how I go

leave the top off, stays ok to use for a while, or if you need to pack it away and seal use a bit of silicone plumbers lube on the threads..

Another from a recent ebay haul, still can't find any info. Its for my son.
I know its a FB hull and shows signs of being a twin prop at some point in its life.
Not too sure about those wings on the deck being original, but any pointers to what could have been would help before I refurbish it.

Plywood and glue will prevail 😊 plus a heap of plastic card, working for assorted photos but will be a way off scale.. just better than scrapping the hull and no idea what it could have been due to the shape has been modded over time

Go this unkown hull as part of an ebay purchase... Was Pretty much ruined inside full of chopped mat and and very poor.
My son asked me to create something usable.. So looking at hull and nor even knowing what is was ? We decided to remove all the chopped mat filling and sand it baks a bit to see if it can be fixed up... so a fixer upper .
So begins a semi scale MTB 77 of sorts..
will post a bit more as I get forward with this.. no plans just a few ref photo to help .. building this in tandem with bearospace emma..🤞🤞
