New taigen turrets?

Post by tao »

I saw a video of a Taigen T 34 with small rollers under the turret..do the new Taigens have these now?
Also speaking of the T-34/85 it looks fairly roomy inside?

Just my Opinion Tao....I have two HL T34s....and the interior is pretty tight ....I would say the Taigen has about the same amount of space if not less because of the latching system ;)

I have the Imex/Taigen Sherman and it also has rollers beneath the turret. This is a feature that Imex wants to incorporate into more tanks. There has also been talk about retrograde kits to add rollers to older models.

Some guys have used airsoft BBs to make their own rollers, I think there's a thread somewhere.

Do you notice it smoother than with the sanding and graphite? In a video I saw it looks like it really glides..

The Sherman turret is butter smooth, especially with the proportional control of the TK22. Here's a short video
