1/5 Scale Sherman Tank Riding Toy Plans and Instructions

Complete plans and instruction for building a 1/5 scale Sherman Tank riding toy for your child.\015\012\015\012This tank is about 4 feet long and just under 30 inches wide (small enough to barely fit through an typical interior door). It is powered by two electric motors and two deep cycle batteries, and reaches walking speed. The tracks are REAL, not mockups. The tank is made entirely of wood, so no special tools are needed.\015\012\015\012These plans include 59 pages (8\275" by 11") and 81 illustrations and photos. It covers hull construction, suspension assembly, track construction, motor selection and installation, even paint. Sources for parts (some of them decidedly non-conventional), and tactics for saving money are also included.\015\012\015\012See http://www.gizmology.net/tanks.htm for more information.
