I must admit all of these tanks videos are quite nice. I've never ventured into modern armour but the speed and functionality of these beasts is quite impressive

I do like the price tag of a challenger or M1 or Leo with the Clark tk60 option though.

Thanks for sharing!
Tanks alot.... :wave:

You can put two helicopter gyroscope on the trunk and on the tower rotation. Turn off the main switch of the remote!
Something like this here!

That won't work, I've experimented with helicopter gyros and they're passable for
Rotation but don't work for elevation.

What's the problem ?
Vertical Gyro fulfills perfectly, fast servo bet and excellent!
Horizontal rotation of the tower is necessary to do so:
Disassemble the servo to 360 degrees. Take only the servo control board. Solder in place of the servo motor reducer fast.
With such rapid gear tower will have time to work out at the corners and turns of the tank.
I tried, but I tanks of World War II, there was no gyros!

Not sure Google Translate has full captured the original intentions.

The tank is now available, along with the Challenger. Slight drawback, the price is now £800.

Watching the video of the challenger the turret rotation when stabilised seems very jerky like the gyros trying to catch up quickly then slows down then speeds up.

I see he's still not shown footage of the vertical stabilisation either.
