Groundeffected made an incredible flying remote-controlled Warhammer 40k Space Marines Repulsor Tank that can take to the sky with ease!
Much like with his Flame Thrower Land Raider video, Groundeffected makes an in-depth feature on the methods behind his madness when it comes to this flying Repulsor Tank. Who needs anti-gravity when you’ve got some drone parts and some ingenuity?
Also, much like his Land Raider, he does warn those who may try and follow in his footsteps that affixing a drone to a miniature comes with risks to the model and yourself, so always use caution.
Real Anti-Grav: YouTuber Makes Flying RC Warhammer 40k Space Marines Repulsor Tank
Let’s see how he got this all done from his video.
The first thing that he does is hollow out the tank and shed as much weight as he can without messing up the aesthetics.
In addition to the initial carving, he knocks out the back and top vents so the drone can get some airflow.
Then comes the first drone base that he can set up to magnetize with the Repulsor shell.
He builds his 3D-printed base for the drone, and it all comes together rather nicely.
After magnetizing the shell to the drone, everything was ready for the inaugural flight.
Disaster strikes! We don’t actually get to see what happens in the video, but he explains that there was too much resonance in the base, which caused it to break within the first few seconds.
He tests out his next much thicker base for the drone and confirms there is still hope for take-off.
Success! After raising the stakes with a sick paint job, we finally see the Repulsor Tank raised to its rightful glory!
