hi,

So just started building my Bronco Maxxpro and have the Hobbyboss M1070 and trailer to begin next.

The bronco doesn't come with any comms units and neither does the m1070 (as far as I'm aware).

What would the correct radios/counter IED units be for these vehicles?

I *think* for the Maxxpro, the blast models MRAP comms kit, SINCGARS and DUKE units from shapeways would be correct?

What about internal comms?

I've done searching, and I'm probably missing the forest for the trees, but i just don't seem to find direct answers.

I don`t think that every M1070 HETS has SINGGARS radios installed. I have enough pics in my collection that DON`T show any radios.

It's possible to install a set in the M1070 cab...Just like this (if you can find it for free, TB 11-5820-890-20-83
"INSTALLATION KIT ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT MK-2692/VRC TO PERMIT INSTALLATION OF RADIO SETS AN/VRC-87/88/90 SERIES IN A M1070 HEAVY EQUIPMENT TRANSPORTER (HET)" should help) :



from http://www.primeportal.net/transports/jeremy_mowers/het_cab/

ET Model set #E35-132 includes the SINCGARS set and the BFT monitor :
