The ONTOS was a very real tank. My tankette is a prototype. It never existed. I am very aware that this is against the rules of the RC Tank Combat Group, But this group is thousands of miles from where I am, so there is no chance (luck) to actually join them and play.  I am preaching and proselytizing a couple of people near me in the hobby though. No problem. This madness is spreading around teh world.  My rules for  building this imaginary tank (tankette in 1:6) are: 1. all metal, 2. small and therefore light, - less than 20 kg, 3. rear drive, 4. steel tracks . 5. readily market available - inexpensive materials. And, WJ, the Painball gun is a very functional  gun, only I have to add the bottle and connect it with a hose to actually make it work. http://rctankcombat.com/archive/2007-03/jpg00045.jpg
The little gun in the videos is only an aluminium tube.
 
but wouldnt they be against the rules since it was a prototype tank?

      I think you misunderstood me, the M3 Lee would be a project after
my current one is finished, next year sometime. My current tank is a
Soviet T-35
