Hey there!

Post by Mech »

Hey guys!

I'm new to this forum—first time ever using one! Well, let's get right to the point. I would love to build an RC T-26 in 1/35 scale, though I'm not sure I'll be able to do it. I've been searching for reference videos and pretty much have a plan on how to go about it, but I'd like to hear some opinions.

These are the models I'm considering using:

I chose this OT-130 model mainly because it seems to come with tracks (or at least they're shown in the pictures) and because I could simply buy a 3D-printed T-26-4 turret and attach it.

What do you guys think? :think:

Also, I was thinking of using a Micro ESP32 connected to a PS4 controller via Bluetooth. I would love to try and fit in two servos, an LED, and two motors, though I'm not sure where I’ll put the battery. :think:

Any tips on how I could accomplish this?

Greetings, Mech. There are a few here on RCTW who convert 1/35 and even 1/72 to RC. Is this any help? https://35rctank.com/ or https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/radio-co ... /135-tank/
