G-Day, I finaly got around to photographing my Radio Controlled Hail-Fire
Droid that i showed in April at a wargame show in Sydney called Leviathon. I
put the pics on brickshelf:

The starwars fans were pretty impressed.
I used the radio kit out of the supersonic RC. I needed the auxilary motor
output so the thing can steer.
The forward control drives it forward. the paddels on the transmitter make it
steer.
A differential on each motor, with axels geared together, parralelle but one
diff has rotation reversed. It works well, one diff drives the two axels in the
same direction, the other diff offsets the rotation on the same axels to make it
steer.
It moves at about walking pace.
Some parts dont fit the colour scheme which i would correct if i started
building another one. i would also see what i could do to get the rockets to
launch.
Hope you like it.
I’ll put some more pics up if requested.
