Default ABC Fire-Rescue based on a 6wheel "Fuchs"-tank
Hi
My name is Marcel and am from Germany.
I found this project in a magazine 17years ago, and now I got the time and money to realize it.
This tank is original used in the german military for scouting and transport.
There is a german company which tried to use this nice vehicle also for supporting in the reacue and firefighting, specialy for airfields.
The tank could be equipped with different kinds of water/foamguns, and I will try to reallize this in my modell also.
I will add some pics, time after time to show you my project in 1:8.

regards
Marcel

I have a lot of pics... But just saw that here is only a very small imagesize possible. So I have to minimize them...
Some facts:
The whole body is made from 3mm aluminium, welded. Only the drivercabine is made from Polystyrol.
The swimdrive has a 110W brushless, the maindrive gets an 820W brushless.
If you have questions, just feel free to ask.

You can get a photobucket account then upload the pics to it. Then click on the image code link then you can post it to your build thread .
