    The Atlanta can be a challenging build. Weight is critical. Especially topside weight.

    These boats can be darn expensive.

    Good luck with construction and happy battling! Hope you get the funds!

    Space is almost always a requirement. Unless you are a master of the art of packing 30lbs of dung in a 2lb sack like me. Ask the Ohio guys what I mean lol. What I can fit in a car is nuts, but what I have done in an 18 wheeler sleeper cab has to be seen to be comprehended.

    Just as an example. At this moment in the cab of my rig I have in addition to clothes supplies ECT.
    1 battle ready DKM Sharnhorst
    1 hull and basic super for a second Scharnhorst.
    1 1/96th Prinz Eugen
    1 32" sailboat
    1 genesis speed cattamaran.
    A very large rc tank. GI Joe scale. Its about 2 ft wide.
    A painting of a Fokker triplane.
    And a bunch of 48" balsa sheet stock. Not to mention my dog and myself. Yes it is crowded in here lol. Have to move stuff to go to bed, then move it again to drive. Pita but until I get the shelf built above the bed it is what I have to deal with. Lol.

    Could be? Not currently set up for it. But it may happen. I may also be getting a smaller one that is set up for laser combat. I have too many interests lol.

    The tracks are specifically designed to be repairable/replaceable. Especially 1/16 scale, that is the most common scale for quality RC tanks. I am sure you can get a suitable replacement part very easily on amazon or other online source.

    If you don't want to mess with it send it my way. I am pretty good at making something from nothing.

    Will have to take some. If you Google 21st century toys 1/6 M5 Stuart mine is all original with custom paint.

    Collectable status on them is rising. Got a good deal on it so made the investment.

    I am getting a Stug III from a club member in a few weeks. He already emptied my wallet this visit so it has to email lol. I do believe it is 1/16th and is set up for laser tag.
