sorry rather than it being powered by electric motors you could use a 4 stroke engine out of a model plane, i have a large scale P47 which uses a 4 stroke and she sounds amazing on full throttle. IC being "internal combustion"

No I won't be useing a fuel powered engine in it. It is very light so the electric motors/gearboxes should handle this carrier quite well. There are sound moduals that can be used and one can record engine sounds and use them.

Well curiousity got the best of me and just had to see how the carrier ran on rc so I used the spare radio gear for an HL rc tank. I added my regiments marching song called I'm Ninety-Five. For the first test run it doesn't run too bad. Here's the video.
PS you will see one good reason for doing up the chin strap on your helmet.... LOL

excelent ! once you get the center engine compartment in you may even be able to fit the sound and smoke module in there. love the suspension ! any chance of some close up video of it going over something on a desktop to show the suspension at work ? I would love a kit of this so i could tear down that spare tiger i have (which is spare parts for Nathans tiger) so i could build one too.
