    Sorry if this has been posted before but I cant seem to find any reference to it, or im blind, but im building a lutzow for semi scale pond running (no battles) and want to know the best set up for rotating turrets, I used to have a bismarck that used small tamiya reduction gear drive boxes but they were noisy and not very reliable

    Servo and belt drive, if you're just doing it for cosmetic purposes.

    Seconded.
    I like the vigor sail-winch servos that Strike Models sell.
    You can use 1/8" OD (outer diameter) o-ring stock to make your own too. Mike Deskin has also had luck using 1/16" ID Clippard hose as well
