Cold and frosty, yet still in shorts! Great POV video, the fog really adds to the effect!

Re: Cheap Tiger 1. Not so Cheap
I have been following this all along, Meter rat, and I think I recall (couldn't find skimming back through) that the sound is Tamiya. I don't recall hearing an RC tank so close-up, and it sounds quite good. (Although I have a Sherman with a POV camera, it's still waiting in the basement gold mine.)

Re: Cheap Tiger 1. Not so Cheap
Tamiya recorded Tiger 131 at The Tank Museum,
The thing about the engine in 131 is that it is not its original engine I might be mistaken but I believe it has a Tiger11 rebuild.
Perhaps Tom Hugill can clarify the matter.

Interesting observations about the Tamiya sounds. It has a Heng Long TK 6.0 MFU, and a standard HL speaker.

Re: Cheap Tiger 1. Not so Cheap
So my memory is incorrect; no surprise. It's HengLong's Tiger 1 after all. It still sounds better in the "intimate" sound of the video. I have heard a number of YouTube videos of Tiger 1s starting up and running. The recorded sounds uses in RC tanks have one flaw: the repetition, especially at idle. I noticed that "sound circle" far less in your video.

Re: Cheap Tiger 1. Not so Cheap
After much trimming, testing, moving stuff about, and repositioning the ball joint for the elevation of the gun, we now have a smooth working gun.
