Hello everyone, I come from Beijing , China.
This tank I Build from Oct,2007, original thread I posted on a Chinese Papermodel BBS -- http://www.cardmodel.cn, original thread at:

And you can see a testrun video clip here:

Let me just give a preview of the sort of features first:Fully movable tracks and suspension, and a mobile turret with RC rotation and elevation. Working BB bullet launcher, and a laser gunsight, lights, smoke, real tank sounds...
Project Start, formers cut out, nothing special at this stage... yet. This Challenger model does not have internal structures, and so it great for RC conversion. Some formers have been modified to accommondate for the internal machinery.
