We were cruising around the internet and came across this work of sheer genius! An RC Leman Russ tank wheeling over the tabletop. Come take a look!
We just came across this video of an RC Leman Russ that Collingwoods Contraptions posted over on his YouTube channel. Fully motorized turret and treads will have you rethinking the way you move your tanks across the table.
This is hobbying at it’s finest! You have everything from paint, to magnets, to some under the covers converting to actually get the treads and turret to move, and Collingwoods Contraptions pulled it off perfectly.
So, what do you need to make your own RC Leman Russ?
CollingWood’s Contraptions RC Leman Russ Battle Tank.
Kit you will need: T6 RC controller and Receiver
: 5 to 6 volts worth of batteries, i used AAAs
: 2 Standard size continuous servos
: 1 mini servo, hacked to spin 360 degrees, optional
: Send me a message if you want the laser cut files
: 1 Tamiya tank tread kit
: 1 Games Workshop Leman Russ Tank kit
: Plasticard for filling gaps made by lowering the floor to fit the servos.
A Leman Russ, a couple RC parts, a lot of hobbying, and you can have your very own tank to drive around the tabletop.
We were truly impressed at how maneuverable this Leman Russ actually was after we watched the video. Collingwoods Contraptions did an amazing job with this tank and we can’t wait to see what he does next!
What do you think about the RC Leman Russ? Are you going to be making one for yourself?
