M1A2 SEP Tusk with stabilization

Post by amarallo »

Hi tankers!

I want to show You one of my projects - Abrams.

I want to build SEP TUSK version with NATO camo scheme.

I bought Mato metal road wheels and metal tracks with rubber pads. I will use for this project HL Upper Hull and Turret. Now Im waiting for metal lower hull and TUSK side armor.

Also I decided to use brushless gimbal stabilization because brushed one (Clark, Tamiya etc) are working so bad - latency, inacurrate etc.

As You can see, it works good. Also I can turn ON/OFF stabilization. The biggest problem is inertia effect when stabilization is OFF. I think this is software problem. If it will be possible, I will try to fix it.

In video You see my aluminium reinforcement. But I have problem with making suspension arms (I want torsion bars). So I ordered hull from my friend from Hong Kong
