T-34/85 turret servo version (Heng Long or Taigen)

Post by Kaczor »

Hello! I'm looking for photos of the interior of a T-34/85 turret from "out of the box" stock Heng Long or Taigen. I mean versions with servo recoil and elevation.

I think mine's the older elevation type. How detailed an image do you need as it's assembled and I'll only be able to get a picture through the underside.

I would like to see how the elevation and recoil servos are mounted as I have only dealt with BB versions.

The Taigen/Torro tanks usually come with an Asiatam type recoil. I've never seen one with a factory servo mechanism. I've also never seen a factory HL servo installed tank in 1/16. After the 6.x they have all had BB and IR so they use the HL elevation motor. Only the most recent HL tanks have had a factory recoil and BB function, but it is not servo driven. All of my servo tanks are modified from the stock setup.

Yes, I'm looking for the inside of the turret of this latest edition of Torro.

Mine's just got a white plastic unit that fills most of the turret - ie the older system.

That would be something new then. Never seen that system.

Kaczor: maybe this is a not-too-bright suggestion, but...well...perhaps Torro could supply a photo. Despite all the Torro (and Taigen) tanks I have, I cannot otherwise help, as I have not bought one for a few years, so none with recoil/smoke.
