This new mechanism seems to be much more robust and durable, I was able to apply enough force on the bolt to stall the L motor, so I decided to use only a single rubber band, rather than 2 that would stall the L motor. ![]() This model was based off of the mechanism of my ISU-152, and uses the newer Technic driving ring to eliminate the issues with the clutch gear disengaging because of too much strain of the rack under load of rubber bands. The turret of the MBT is rather large, but slightly taller than it should be, as the turret houses the massive Technic driving ring firing mechanism inside of it. The front most torsion bar fixing point is as tight to the side of the hull wall, as there is lots of weight there too. ![]() The suspension is torsion bars on 12 of the 14 road wheels, as on the last road wheel there was clearance issues for torsion bars, and the rear of the vehicle had a majority of the weight bearing on it, nearly collapsing the suspension, and causing the rear of the vehicle to sit lower. The turntable features a coupling that allows me to remove the turret from the hull for getting loose pieces that fell in there maintenance. There is a single L motor mounted in the hull to traverse the turret. 3 IR receivers are mounted above the XL motors in the rear of the hull. There are 2 sets of PF led lights mounted in the front hull and the tail lights. ( 2 coupled with 1:1 ratio to each of the tracks) With the remaining space in the hull, there is 2 AA battery boxes mounted in front and behind the turret ring. This allows me to mount XL motors closer together, so I used this extra space to mount 4 coupled XL motors. Most modern vehicles have a much larger space between the tracks/ have smaller tracks. There are several reasons why I decided to build a MBT. This Is my first Modern Main Battle tank that I have built. Well this model is a major change compared to my older MOCs.
