Default Things we do for the kids

Hi Guys,
Amazing what we do for the kids. When I was 10, I asked my dada if we could make a miniature tank. My dad, being a busy farmer, told me there was too many important things that needed to be done. When my daughter was about ten, we were going to the MJCQ swap meet at Cunungra. We were intending on buying one of those half sized toy jeep projects that Marathon used to sell. One the way there we decided that we would build are own WWII miniature vehicle. So, three months later we had a 1/3 scale grant tank, powered by electric wheel chair motors. Unfortunately, these motors just dont have the power to turn it properly, so it is about to under go a heart transplant and get an 11hp petrol motor, ride-on mower diff and disc brakes. Then we'll see the little bugger turn!
