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 Last edited by Slickowan; 02-04-2013 at 07:36 PM. |

Re: ABC Fire-Rescue based on a 6wheel "Fuchs"-tank
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. Last edited by Slickowan; 02-05-2013 at 08:51 AM. |

The powerpack for the swimdrive, 110W Brushless with a 3:1 gear ratio.
Also the steering, makes able to turn the drive 360°. Its a compact unit, possible to remove and install very fast only with 4 screws in the tankbody. |

Re: ABC Fire-Rescue based on a 6wheel "Fuchs"-tank
The 6 rims and the drivetrain/axles I will order at a friend, he will build them for me. But I have to get some money, its not a cheap job
Later I will build a 3-gear transmission, but that will be in the future... |
