![]() There are other things that you can do to make the M41 really shine but this thread is not the place to discuss them. The bearings though will require a bit more work then with your T72. Also a set of drive axle support bearings. It would be a good idea (if yours did not come with) to add the M41 sprockets with track guide retaining rings. The only issues stock M41s have are with their track retention. The battery box is standard size not the small one like on your T72. In the silty dirt & sand, wide open areas and overgrown section of that field they have proven more then capable. I use mine more then any other tank for battles. Any thoughts, opinions?Īnother question is the battery compartment the standard large size, not T-72'ish? That'd be another plus, room for high capacity batteries.The M41 is a good all around performer. I'd remove the smoker and the airsoft launcher, and add the Lego DEI IR electronics. I'd like to keep my other tanks pretty much stock, but the M41 seems like a good candidate. The M41 is still being used by the Brazilian, Chilean, Dominican, Guatemalan, Taiwanese, Thai, and Uruguayan armies.Although I'm not ready yet to do so, I'm thinking of using an M41 in the IR battles in Mission Bay. ![]() The United States Army has replaced the M41 Walker Bulldog light tank with the Sheridan M551 light tank. The M41 Walker Bulldog was not used by US forces, themselves, in Vietnam. By 1971, more than 200 Walker Bulldogs were in service with the ARVN. The US equipped the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) with M41s during the Vietnam War. The M41 Walker Bulldog light tank was used, to a limited extent, during the Korean War. The M41A2's and M41A3's engines have fuel injection systems. Variants of the M41 light tank include the M41A1, the M41A2 and the M41A3, which had slightly different gun control systems. The M41 was built by the Cadillac Car Division of General Motors at the Cleveland Tank plant. Originally known as the Little Bulldog, it was renamed the Walker Bulldog in honor of General Walton Walker, who died in 1951, in a jeep accident in Korea. Production of the M41 light tank began in 1950 and it entered service in 1951. Just after the war ended, the US began developing a new light tank, which culminated in M41. ![]() The M41 Walker Bulldog light tank was built to replace the M24 Chaffee light tank, which was the standard light tank being used by the United States at the end of World War II. ![]()
