How to make a 1/6 scale Steyr RSO - step by step

Here we have the build video, showing my RC scratch built Steyr RSO from start to finish. The Steyr RSO (Raupenschlepper Ost/caterpillar east) was a light tracked utility vehicle and prime mover, used by the german military during World War 2. It was based on a 1,5 ton truck from Steyr, hence the truck-like cab. The RSO was noisy and slow, but negotiated the mud, snow and the no-existing roads of the Soviet Union better then the half tracks and lorry’s also used by the German army. It was powered by an air cooled V8-petrol engine and was intentionally used as a support vehicle and artillery tractor, but the RSO was also used as a platform for anti tank-guns as well as for anti aircraft-guns. I find the rounded, almost sad look of the RSO very appealing and interesting, and I wanted to make a vehicle without a turret this time. This was a fun and pretty straight-forward build, with the cab as an obvious peak. If you want to see it in action, check out my previous videos! Thank for watching!
