1/16 Tamiya King Tiger Road Wheels won’t spin

[Michael151722]

to answer your question about the "Hentec" system it is necessary to start by enlarging the existing holes in the chassis, then you must make 2 small holes, for each side, (fixing screws) personally that's what I I did, and no operating problems, just when enlarging the holes? be careful to stay centered in relation to each other

Thank you but have no idea much so far would I be able to message you for help once I order and it has arrived?

Again just to cap my post off Thank you to everyone for all your help in helping me complete the tank and staying patient with me and answering my questions

It is appreciated. I understand how the mods and guys who have posted for years here get pissed with people who show up with a problem and get all sorts of help and disappear without even a thank you. TBH I lurked for a couple of years and absorbed. I didn't join until I thought I might be able to contribute. I and the others who have helped on this thread I can say have enjoyed helping you. So when do you buy your next tank?

Need to buy the hentec tensioner could you link it again. Next tank need to save and go to Japan and see what they have preferably Challenger or Abrams. Or might go for a RC Tractor lol

Michael just join our club forum I linked you to or even better just come out to the field with your tank. Believe me for your next tank purchase you would be spoiled for choice as guys are always selling tanks, RTR and so much cheaper than you paid for the KT I can bet on, This is still the place to be but having access locally is huge. If you want to eventually battle you are almost there. Guys in the club can wire up a TBU and emitter for $50. The battles are done using club apples so you don't even need to buy one. Run the tank on the the club field and guaranteed you are hooked. I don't want to piss people off here but there are very few dedicated rc tank fields in the world. So lucky to have this one so close to Toronto

The battle thing can be explained easily in person at a club meet. Having a Tamiya mfu you are already halfway there although Clark boards rule as they don't take battle damage. But I'm getting way ahead of myself. We are fine with people coming out with a tank the first time and just running around the field. No pressure if you don't want to get into battling but I think you probably would once you see what it is about. We do have some members who hardly battle. The tanks and other AFV models you will see will be very interesting. First ime I showed up I only knew tanks like Tigers, Panthers and Shermans

Thank you mate I will look to come out and just get to know some more new people and have fun, but I only have one car which I share with family so will have to work out my schedule first tho, btw could you link me to the henntec tensioner. Tbh I am already interested in battling and would love to see all other military models but I really like hand built stuff

As far as Henntec

From Guido who makes them

https://www.henntec.de/produkte/kettens ... ya-panzer/

or from Dom at rctank.de who is a really good dealer and if you can get the order over 50 euros he might remove the 19%VAT if you contact him

https://www.rctank.de/KING-TIGER_3

as far as hand built stuff look at some of the stuff MikeC is selling right now on the forum. He just sold me a Torro Jagdtiger with a DKLM gearbox worth $250 and full battle ready for $500. That is probably $1300+ CDN at the minimum once you get it here

Some of us are still lurkers and are gleaning from others experiences!

Well if someone like you who produced the M32ARV is still gleaning I guess I'll still be gleaning 3 or 4 lifetimes later

Believe me I'm always gleaning, learning from others. Those 3D guys have left me in the dust. But I still love to learn from others' work.

Thank you again mate, by hand built I meant something I can assembly myself like the KT I have, how much assembly are Taigen stuff, like are they like Tamiya full assembly kit
