Coolbank M5A1 stuart!

What's all the white stuff on those resin pieces? Sanding dust?

Resine residue I guess

Catherine and Will: Some of the Stuarts used periscope guards, apparently not identical to those used on the Sherman. I learned this after put the Sherman type on mine. Some did not use the guards. The tools are really needed, for as you know, three are missing from the deck. But you got me on the three in the first photo in your post immediately above. What are they?

The three items in the top picture of wcp's post ( if that is what you are referring to )professor are antenna mounts

No, just didnt wash these parts very well as my parts washer broke, but these are my prototype parts to test if they come out ok.
I am building a new parts washer so i can get rid of the excessive resin before curing the pieces in light chamber
Rather annoying that the elegoo parts washer has died multiple times and i have given up with it. Funnily enought the elegoo uv chamber also died. its the one where you buy seperate wash and uv chamber. both very poor products

I see it now. Thank you, Lee.

Hello
I may have missed something but you can slow the Stuart down. It’s on page 4 (the high lighted section) using K button and the joysticks. What it doesn’t say is the switch F1 needs to be up in the fast mode.
Also the turret speed can be adjusted the same way. I assume the crusader can be changed as well.

Genius David! Genius!

A few months ago I tried all of those cryptic adjustments for the stuart and they either rendered the tank undriveable, or had little to no effect on anything.

The K + sticks amplitude function adjustment just wouldn't do a thing, but I was always trying it in "simulation" slow mode. Just tried it in F1 "fast" mode as you outlined, and adjusted it to the cyan colour (20-40%) and jackpot! Lowered speed over the stick travel range. A bit more fiddling to see how it does at 5-15% and get the right/left stick adjusted down as well.

Many, many thanks for the incredibly brilliant trick. Works a charm! I like my Stuart again!

You rock David!

Mike.

Postscript--adjusting the turning function really transforms the fun of driving the M5. Only weird thing is that reverse is still jackrabbity fast, while forward is slowed a lot. Still, a massive improvement in driving control and fun.

Hello Mike

Maybe resetting the mid point, as per the previous highlighted section may help with the reverse?
