could you actually mount a turret on the truck..?

[jenffer]

humm i haet to say this what is turret and why do need one ?

[razor7177]

heemmmm....its sort of a contraption i was thinkin' on putting on the truck......sorry i don't have the pics 4 it because i took it apart....it was basicly 2 modifyied micro servos held together with black double sided tape..the horizontal servo has a model gun attach 2 it and the vertical one is attach to the truck...but it was disasterous because it keeps on caming off...but good as a sentry gun.....so any tips....pls.....!

[jenffer]

[razor7177]

you could get a cheap plastic dump truck with same price at a flea market.....if your using a rc setup, you could attach a servo to the dump....could you post the pics of the rc setup so i can have a look....im using a 4 channel flysky radio transmitter ith a fs 6 channel reciever...2 tower pro micro servo....

[jenffer]

[razor7177]

if u have a friend with a welding and sheet metal shear, u could actually build the dump your self....i can't say its cheap but it adds originality 2 your work....i hope this should help u....
