Building a Tank

[Guyver13]

Has anyone had any good luck building a turret for a tank?
Some of my crew and I are building one and we're currently looking at adding a turret.
This was built on a golf cart base.

Turret plan-rough sketch

Here is a rough plan for a turret that I am planning on building. You will have to adapt it your tank. Hope you liked my tank above it's turret was remote controlled via a joystick inside. It was based upon a sit and spin toy, driven by electric seat motors from a car which let the turret crawl around the upsidedown SITandSPIN with the help of cables and an old bicycle rim around the sit and spin. The turret was made from the top half of a luggage rooftop carrier. The turret could turn 270 degrees and the barrel could also go up and down. it really go some strange looks. Above it all it was Street LEGAL. The turret plan below of course is incomplete. remember you need to put a set of wheels on the underside or sides to keep it from falling off. if you need more detail post here i would Love to build it with you.

Citations make great tanks!! before the $6.00 paint job and the drainage conduit, luggage carrier, pvc and SITand Spin. the finished product took over 50 hrs. most by my self. The guns did not fire. it was for a Klingon big gun contest. Umm, i won.

Bazooka electronic trigger

you might what to put a tiny 12v compressor on board to power a PB cannon or mortor, or get a palmer stablizer and reg it down to 90- 100 psi and use hpa, CO2 or SCUBA tanks hee hee. to fill the air reserviour. Im stoked.
