Another 1:16 T-35 3D-Print Build

This section is for builds that are not strictly Tamiya or Heng Long. For instance, replacing the electronics from a WSN or Matorro, or even a scratch-build.

A major step, no photos yet though.

There are no instructions for this build, so one is left to figure out the workings by looking, fitting and sometimes developing one's own methods. For instance, I chose to use the "RSMG" to animate the auxiliary turrets. I installed micro servos in the turrets with servo arms that fit into slots I carved in the hull.

The main turret took some more thinking. As I said before, I'm keeping with my Heng Long board. Its turret rotation is effected by a DC current running a motor and gear reduction box meshing with a ring gear on the turret.

The T-35's turret is designed to rotate via a servo. The HL board doesn't have that capability. What to do? I took a low profile servo (something not mentioned but necessary to fit) removed the pc board and the pin on a gear that normally limits the servo travel, rewired the motor with the DC wires coming from the HL board and ended up with a nice slow rotation!

The ".1" Heng Long boards have servo ports for example, the HL 6.1S. The version 6.0 does not have servo ports. When ever we see the 7.1 board, it will have servo ports as opposed to the 7.0 which doesn't. I'm using a 6.1S board in my T-72 that has been upgraded with servo recoil and servo elevation.

Yeah, the 6.1S board I'm using has servo ports for barrel elevation and cannon recoil, but not turret rotation, hence the continuous rotation servo rewiring I used.

So far, so good (my mantra)

It would definitely be a project I would try if I had a 3D printer... :(

Wow! I read that the T-35’s triple turrets kept the commander busier than a centipede at a toe-counting contest. You have captured that busy look. What a marvelous tank. I agree that such a T-35 would be a hot-selling pre-built my direction, even ARTR, needing to be painted and bound to a transmitter.

Yep, good call, unpainted and ready to bind a TX would be fantastic.
