RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Went to the local dump last week and found an all metal MATO Tiger 1 on the recycling bench, after a bit of haggling I put it in the car for £25!


Hull machine gun was broken and the rear mudflaps were missing. The battery inside still had a charge so I hooked up my flysky TX and RX and it worked (mostly)

Thanks to Forgebear it now has a new machine gun and rear mud flaps. I also fitted a TARR smoker.

I am now in the process of painting, weathering and adding decals etc
The MFU , I believe it's a Clark TK22, works but the engine noise when running cannot be heard very well, start up and everything else is fine. Was thinking of upgrading to a TK40s so I can utilise more of the channels available on my Flysky. Any idea on where I might source a TK40s?

Dump? I’d that like a landfill site? How on earth did think of going there? I mean I would for a Mato Tiger but how to know it’s there?

Our own "MAXMEKKER" will be glad to supply you with any of the Clark range of boards.

My wife booked a slot for me to dispose of a load of garden rubbish, purely by chance the parking slot I was given was right next to the recycling table where all the unwanted electrical gear is placed. As I went to the back of the car to get the rubbish out, it was the first thing I saw.

Do I need to PM Maxmekker or does he have a website?

I guess the owner of the tank died and his wife could find no better place for it. Hard to imagine anyone sane would not try to sell it first.

His wife should buy one for him

Mr. JMeister,

I think you should play the lottery too! The only thing I've ever brought back from the dump is a nail or screw in my truck tires! As other's have surmised, I can only think it's the Wife, significant other, or angry parent's seeking revenge?!?

You're one lucky guy!

Cheers,
Eric.
