Not especially but I wanted a big scale rc kit that could do a mixture of things. Not sure how well this would crawl as the rear diff cant be locked and the transmission is single speed. By the looks of it the transmission case has been designed to contain a 2 speed setup and there is a slot next to it for a servo.

Turns out it crawls really well. Went up a flight of 12 steps today after a few failed attempts. The acceleration is brutal on 4S, I'm not even going to attempt 6S without dialing back the acceleration on the ESC.

Thanks. It's given me an idea to put a pair of brushless motor in a tank, although not the 2200 KV behemoth in this truck.

I should probably crack on with the King Tiger now.

Lets just say I was quite tempted for a few minutes...

The pattern fits with the research done on later (December onwards) model King Tigers. All I did was copy that! The idea was to create one which was as close to a real pattern, of which their are two main ones for the King Tiger with factory applied schemes.

The turret is all but done. It's just some more weathering, streaks, maybe another filter layer and then dusting and get rid of the smidge of oil on the gun. I can't get that bright red lettering toned down though without making it look out of place. I'm having trouble motivating myself to finish the hull though. What you see on the hull is what it looks like out of the bottle.
