Hi,

- Transmissions are partially from Modellspiegel combined with 21.5T Turnigy Sensored Brushless Motors and TORO TS-50 ESC
- Sprocket and Idlerwheel from Tamiya
- Torro Metal Roadwheels Set modiefied with double Ball-baering
- Metal Tracks from Impact

For the attentive observer:
The base plate is glued in the wrong direction!
That whould be a real fun to get everything apart an clean up and re-glue.....
I have decided to close the holes later and to make new ones in the right place.



For tests and adjustment with Tamiya Roadwheels:



The Transmission Unit, early Version with Brushed Motors:







After first Rollout:



With heavy Load:



Stay tuned....

Next Part:

The Gun of Jagdtiger is a PAK 44 12,8cm
The Gun have a real Reciol from 870mm to 900mm
This is in 1/16 Scale 55mm!
