Well I’ve never been in a tank, I probably wouldn’t fit through the hatch lol plus tanks are big targets so I think I’d rather be a REMF pushing buttons and blowing shit up from another countryJ. I was watching videos on YouTube about the RipTide tank
and it was pretty detailed , they designed a very simple but highly effective track and train system which I’ll attempt to miniaturise for a project later on, quite frankly it’s cheaper to buy the alloy upgrades from ebay than set it all up myself. I have some FPV equipment I want to install on my Pershing 1/16th and try and remote drive it, just to get to grips with the electronics, then I want to use the CNC to make a TROV tacked – remote – operated – vehicle I’ve seen some bog standard tracked chassis and the cheapest one for the size I want to make is a bout £2000, so sod that I’ll have a bash at making my own.
I see a Centurion tank everyday as I drive past Leyland,
if they were built anything like the cars they made I’m surprised they ever actually started ! I drove a 6 month old Leyland Road Train once which set on fire at Fleetwood docks, I never drove one again.

The Cent was brilliant, one of the few tanks that can do a full neutral turn.
We used to get them going that fast in a neutral turn the apprentices used to throw up all over each other and once one starts they all yodel.John S -

Does crew on an M60A3 count? Loved those and yes you could do a true neutral 360 no problem in them. My commander (the company XO) loved it when I was driving. As I could get us places that they said wouldn't go. Yeah had to be careful over certain terrain as they would through a track way to quick. Bore sighting them was a pain in the back side, but I do have to admit that the trust and teamwork you get on a track is hard to find anywhere else. I left the unit due to moving just as they where getting the M1's in which was a bummer as they where getting the A1 variant which according to some friends really had functioning turret stability at speed.
