Don’t you just love the T55 in all it’s variants.

I just wonder what is the sandy colour you’ve in the “splash of colour” images......

Many thanks......
Take care..........Gary

Thanks :)

I’m sure it was Tamiya yellow but I’ll look for the code.

Been waiting for some parts from Stian (maxmekker) as he gets some nice stuff from dklm and 3d printed parts.

Gearbox mount in - they now sit level and strong.

Hull plate in place, no twisting or flexing from the lower hull now. Quite light too.

Henntec stiffen the front, no twisting here either.

Very worthwhile upgrades as it has nothing to stop flex otherwise.

3d printed speaker box custom fits the hull shape and will take a visaton fr7s for my elmod fusion pro.

Hi AD LAV,

Does Stian have a web site one would be able to order these parts from?

Best regards,

Rudy

Beautiful build. A real inspiration for me. I recently bought a T-55 kit off a friend who tired of the build before finishing it. I have basically 1.75 of the parts, almost enough to build 2 tanks. I am missing the motors for one of the chassis. What would be the best motor for the second chassis? I am using a TK 50 Clark Board.

Thank you QB
