And then there were 5...

Torro Mid production Tiger I.

A friend of a friend is liquidating his collection and although meter rat may not believe it I wasn't looking for it. But for the $ price $ I couldn't pass it up.

This one still runs the archaic V3 but has some black magic controlling servo elevation and barrel recoil poorly as well as barrel flash and smoke :O Oh I can't wait to share the sillyness required to refill the barrel smoke unit :haha:

albeit a bit impotent and out of sync-

BUT I already have a TK7.1 on hand soooooo looks like this will be my first adventure into the world of servos. I'll be seeking advice for this one boys.

Nice pick up. We have to feed our addiction; one way or another.

That Tiger's cannon can be useful: lighting cigarettes, gas bar-b-ques, etc.

As always, good luck with your upgrades.

If you weather them, post pictures.

Servos are awesome! You can customize their movements and speed (if you are using a programmable hobby grade radio) to tweak your model to your liking. I used one to turn my tank commander’s head.
