How to make a 1/8 scale AMX-13 - step by step

Don't forget to watch the Meet my Tanks-video about the AMX-13 if you want to see more of this fabulous little baguette launcher!
Meet my tanks  #3 - the AMX 13

The AMX-13 is a French light tank developed during the early 1950. It has an oscillating turret, which means that the whole upper part elevates. The canon is a 75mm auto-loader, fed by two revolver magazine in the back of the turret. The design was revolutionary when it arrived.

This is a pretty long step-by-step description of how I made my AMX-13, a remote controlled tank in 1/8 scale.
- 2 x 15 Nm, 12 V screw driver as motors
- 2 x 80 A ESC from Hobbywing
- Hull made of plywood and aluminium
- Springs as shocks
- 3D printed tracks, drive wheels, road wheels and idler wheel
- 3D-printed details, such as the canon, vents, lights, etc

By using existing parts, cheap material like plywood, ordinary nuts and bolt, and a 3D-printer, I would like to show that you can accomplish stuff without spending a lot of money, or having the fanciest tools in your workshop. Enjoy! :)
