Your Tiger 323 (at last)

Post by mickyb »

Here she is at last....enjoy the fotos.

I know some of you are foto pervs...so I make no excuses for posting quite a few for you to view...

You will notice that I haven't got the crest on the front yet.......Rolf Harris is busy this month.

Have a look at the rear elevation foto, you will notice the ElMoD main battery power switch under the right hand air filter, the volume control  is an inch to it's left and the card power switch is to the left of the left hand exhaust box.

The aerial is a dummy as I am using 2.4gig radio. and both reciever units fit neatly inside the hull and have their own aerials.

The turret is Creeping Death.....look out the cat that ruined my MX5 soft top...

I include a foto of the inside of the hull showing the layout. I have retained the HL battery box with a 5100mah battery, and you will see that the 2.4 gig rcvr is not fitted for the foto, I am using a standard rcvr for testing as the Spektrum gear has all had to go back as a recall from Horizon Hobies.

Now most of you have done this so much better than I have here.....so what would you like to know about the build?
I have posted the Zimmerit, suspension upgrade, track tensioner installation and paint job.

Once I have the Spektrum rcvr installed I will post the CD turret installation and control.

Some more showing the hull layout and under the CD turret, which you will note is no different to the standard one to look at.

Plus the pile of kit that went in the hull........
