I have never seen anyone do this on a hull mounted machine gun before, it looks quite clever I reckon.

Re: Novel Tiger machine gun
Yes I saw that video a little while ago, I'm going to have a go at doing it on my next Tiger, been thinking of ways to do it and got some ideas in my head.

Re: Novel Tiger machine gun
I just did the servo mod in the Jagdtiger
and with the Asp I have two switches for the two guns so I'm thinking of adding the servo MG mod to this tank as well. The Asp leaves channel 8 open and there's an extra pot on the 9XR so why not, eh?
That video is more about the model matching, but it shows how I have two separate switches for the two different MG34s. I like it, and think it's very convenient.

Re: Novel Tiger machine gun
The Tamiya Tiger has the ball socket molded as functional. If you mount a servo on the inside and run the LED wires through the servo horn, you get a nice raking MG. I usually Y clip the servo into steering so it moves with the driver when using 4 channels. If 6, I set it up with the gear channel and mix that to trigger firing too. To get an even better effect, use a Turnigy chip and you can set the rates of how fast it moves so you can rake while firing, but let it slowly move back when not firing.
What, me worry?
