Opeta

Introduction:

The name comes from Open Tanque(Tank in english).

The project is aimed to experience with sensors in a land vehicle all terrain with a transmision of carterpillar type.

On the next project all the experiences adquired with sensors will be end in an UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle),
that was the original prototype, too dangerous make first tests on an aerial vehicle. ;)

History:

I bought a 1/24 tank in first instance but I had dimensions problems. It was very small for the project.
On March I bought a 1/16 tank and currently I'm working on it.

If you want to see the original 1/24 model go here.

The model, I'm working on, have the transmission and the gearbox metallic, you can see here the optional addons.
