Well that is awesome, brings realisme to the next level. As cool as it is it was not the one I was looking for, the one I need showed a step by step how to put the servo into the body.

Now to go watch those vids again !!

I remember seeing that thread too and for the life of me I can't find it either.

If you're working in 1:6th scale, there's actually quite a bit of stuff available in the RC Tanking world. Just Google "rc animatronics" you'll find some cool stuff.

Check out this 1:6th scale Tiger's crew:

For just a head, I'd think a micro servo would serve. Hide it in the "body cavity" with a stem for the neck. Y-harness it to the steering servo and go.

Thanks Mike, that is what I am looking for. Someone on here did that to there 1/6th driver...in a Jeep I think. They had the steering wheel and driver head turn with the front wheels.

I was hoping to find that post to get more info on how they hogged out the body to fit and whick servo and 3 way splitter they used.

I definitely remember the thread had some funny drawings that showed where they carved out the body cavity for the servo and how they glued a servo horn into the neck so the head would just slip back on. Now you have me looking in the archives trying to find this!

The "head just slipping back on" and "funny drawings" really rang a bell. I know which thread y'all want now, but I'm damned if I can I fnd it either!!

You just need to learn to search,newbie.

I used "turning + head".

It was the only thing I could think of besides moving.

reddevildemo · 04-16-2011, 06:39 PM

SHit, I tried that one, animated head, driver head, moving head......not sure how I missed it but I sure as heck did

I need to make it a personal sticky... I completely missed the correct thread and I thought I had looked at every Willys build done in the past year.

Darin- I finally found the link to the MRE case printout, it turned out pretty good!
