I am thinking of converting my spare spygear ATV 360 into a landram. It would be radio controlled and have a cam behind the drivers windshield. Using the headset you would see what the driver would see if you were in his seat.

Most likely I will do the cargo version, I can always add the turret later.

What size would it be, and what would a "ball park" cost be?

around 13 inches long, 7 1/2 inches wide, and about 6 inches tall (without turret)
just a paper mockup..
COST: well if I factor in the going rate for the ATV-360, my labor and parts. probably be in the neighborhood of $200-$300, won't be sure until the project is done.
check out ebay for ATV-360, they range from $100-$250

OK, CK, The ram body build is slowing down and the weather is getting better. SO I expect my chassis will be driving by friday.
