RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

I got the new traverse and recoil mechanism sorted on my SU-152 build so I decided to put up a little vid of it. Once I get it re-installed I will get a vid of the tank actually running. I also demonstrated the Heng Long CNC gearboxes since I don't know a lot of folks that have tried them out. Sorry no build pics as yet because the ones I have are really large unless you see them at RCU. I know there are other ways to post them, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Enjoy...

Yup, got it all put back in last night and it seems the traverse servo is acting up so I started working on the mount for the apple. It runs fine to one direction, but really slow to the other. It's kinda weird.

Any updates always good to see builds with servos

Yeah, I was actually throwing paint on it this evening. I can give an update soon. It's in two pieces right now all masked off.

Do you have any updates yet Mr Tankme ?
Mines done, all I need to do is create wear the track contact pads by use & thats it.
Be great to see what you've been up to

Had to take a quick break from the SU-152 as I really like the building part better than the painting/weathering part. But I did finish up the electronics and got the wiring fairly clean. This would be the first time I've painted a camo on a tank since I was a kid. I've never had a dual stage airbrush either so I'm still getting used to it. I have a single stage with a larger needle to do priming work and base coats. I will be installing a better speaker eventually.



Using magnets to hold the top hull down in the back rather than the old style Taigen screw in from the bottom setup.



Mounted the on/off switch, volume, and apple mount under the rear hatch.



Apple shown mounted.



And the camo pics before chipping and weathering. I did throw some Mig track wash on the tracks, but I will more than likely let them weather themselves running on the battlefield.



The business end. Need to do a final mounting solution for the emitter as it's just roughed in at the moment.

Awesome work!
