    Trying to Import a APC OT-64, need advice

    Went back and had a close up look at those BTR-60 photos you posted. I can see the small TV monitors mounted where the vison blocks used to be. I would have thought that you could fit more passenger seats into that vehicle given it's size. What is the turret used for considering it's original...

    Trying to Import a APC OT-64, need advice

    Somethings to consider, If you are going for an 8X8 vehicle make sure if you're not going over there to actually look at it/ drive it in person (recommended), that you see (moving) video of the vehicle both running & driving. Pay attention to the steering as with any 8X8 it is complicated and...
