I actually ordered the metal elevation arm from DKLMRC already but wouldn’t mind an extra one if possible since I do plan building another tank soon. Again Thank you either if you can find it or not. I have only had this for a year but slowly looking to upgrade it starting with tensioner system and the metal arm and maybe metal tracks.Panzermechaniker wrote: ↑Fri Jul 11, 2025 1:46 am Well I can't help you any more than Guido who designed/fabricated it. I know I have some spare brass elevations arms, I'll have a sort through of my boxes of parts as I did see them when I was building my Panther in the spring. But I think your KT could probably do with going down the rebuild path. It's actually fun. I assume you built your Tamiya and it does have a nice paint job. I wouldn't tear it down so far say as removing the torsion bars/gearboxes but it really is a good idea on Tamiyas after a few years especially on the KT which is just so problematic without a lot of aftermarket fixes to just clean/brace everything up. Although a great looking model I think the KT is the worst Tamiya. The wiring mess on Tamiyas generally gets worse over time but unlike HL and Taigens for instance you can't always put a sleeve and zip ties on the central wiring up into to the turret and clean things up as that actually can make things worse. I love Tamiyas but the rotation mech and to some degree the elevation is awful. One of my KTs works great but for some reason the recoil will retract but not go back to original position until you re-fire. No amount of resetting fixes it. But it is a beautiful tank so I just live with it
So for the tensioner system do I get rid of everything from the stock tensioner system. What about the silver brackets? And mine doesn’t have any circular brackets it seems? If I could see yours I might have a better idea
