And Cobra did a piss poor design with the treads. If you turn the tank all the way around it falls over. Who the 'eff is their engineer? Do they just make stuff or actually research how it will work? No wonder they have not taken over the world yet.

Hell, throw in a lil' Ajax and some glass cleaner and you got a controlled substance!

Side view from the tutorial thread.

Yea, once you have everything in hand it will make for sense. Those guns and the missile that can be used instead of the Shockwave attachment are that color. It's actually pretty nice looking.

Canopy: It was asked if the canopy could get switched out. It's possible but there will be a gap if you use a POC/Crimson HISS canopy. It does not have the same part that clips as the Retaliation/Shockwave HISS does. I'm sure some work could be done but it's way easier to spray paint the...

As you are working, constantly check where you are at. Don't just think it will fit if you follow this to a T. Work slowly and see where one side may be off or some plastic may need to get shaved. Here is what it should look like once you have the spring attachment ground and placed in the...

If you are using the Shockwave HISS, here comes the tough part. Committing to cutting it. A Retaliation HISS is no big deal since they suck anyway. Destroying it only improves it's looks. ;) BEWARE!! PLASTIC IS SOFTER SO A DREMEL WILL CUT THROUGH VERY EASY. USE CAUTION AND GO SLOWLY...

Next, get a slight understanding of what you are working with. Put the two different attachments by each other so you can see the difference. Obviously the new one will need some work to match the size of the original. The right is the one it came with and the left is the replacement. One...

Here are some pictures and things I ran into that may hopefully help anyone else attempting to convert a Shockwave/Retaliation HISS for POC treads. Why do it? Because static treads are shite! :D When you have aggressive treads like the POC tanks do it's best to use them. They are different...

*In game show announcer voice* That's right folks! You choose the banner theme! Speak up and let's see what you all come up with. Debate why a certain choice is better than another if necessary! YOU have the power! What other place does all that for you? Huh? Nobody, that's who! Well...

The soundwave I had was fine. The tape slid in easily. I'm sure there will be variations from set to set.

I'll do those pictures later too. I plan on taking it apart to show what needs to be done for the conversion. I didn't see anything showing what needs to be modified and cut. Just showing what it looks like once done.

The first pic is the down position. The canopy is different on the POC/Crimson HISS but you can make it work. There will be a slight gap at the bottom where it would normally shut. I would think with a little work it could sit right. I'll have to tool with it. I'll show comparisons later.

I'll be out and about Thursday so I'll check a few places for POC and Crimson HISS tanks. If anyone is interested just shoot me a PM. Basically, it would be about $10 if I keep the driver. Shipping can probably be about $5 I'd assume. That is if it's just the treads and the part needed. I'd...

Here's a few pics of the conversion:

Yes sir! The set came with a few cool accessories.

Tuesday Mornings, Marshalls and maybe cheap on e bay. I basically paid $18 for one part. I think fogger may take the driver though.

I reviewed them how they came packaged. I was going to add the cart to the BAT but in the box it was it's own entity. Plus, when I saw the cubes were different I kind of wanted to highlight that and not have it get lost with another item. It's really the only "accessory" so there isn't much...

I'll take it apart tonight and show what I did. I put a few pictures in the "what's everybody up to" thread.

Soundwave (con't):
