 Post subject: Quick Mod...New Millenium Toys Radio Controlled M113

I got these sent to me by a friend...I got to find out where he bought them. Both are radio controlled...I took them apart, cut the wells out of the top two latch compartments and cut some cardboard to fit - covers the engine inside and keeps the figures from falling down. They both work fine with the mod. Sadly...the latches on the front and back can be cut open, but the engine and drive mechanisms interfere with that space...so I let them be.

I may repaint these yet...not sure, my son likes the colors they are now...and has claimed them for his green shirt transports. :lol:

They appear to be pretty much in scale with joes. They do contain a sound speaker that has engine sounds...and the controller has a button that you push that makes the sound for the machine gun (the green camo one is missing the main gun - I'll probably attach a new one).

I know some people are looking for r/c vehicles in joe scale...and thought I would post these.

Thanks.

Yes...they were easy. Remove 4 screws from underneath...take the top half of the vehicle off. Took the dremel with a cutting disc on it...and too the bottom of the latch wells off...also tapered the front one so it allowed the feet to flow in easier. I then cut two pieces of cardboard to reach to the length of the inside sides of the vehicle (that way it doesn't rest on the motor and doesn't hit the gears) then reassembled it.

looks to be a match. they do need a repaint though, at least the light colored. a bit more yellow and you have a good desert color. green one could be all green, but it looks ok now too.
nice find!
