Good Morning

Post by alexglissan »

Good Morning,

A new member from Australia.

I've recently purchased two tanks, both 'professional versions' from Heng Long to run and mod with my nephew this Christmas.

- Sherman M4A3
- Tiger I

It looks like a great hobby. I have some experience with electronics and soldering and a tiny bit of experience with an airbrush.

I'm looking for tips on:
- Battery size and battery compartment modification
- Structural reinforcement for the plastic hulls
- Suggestions for bearing(s)
- Suggestions for possible (?) waterproofing

Thanks for having me,
Alex

Welcome: The M4A3 and Tiger 1 are a good start, although it was alleged that it took 5 Shermans to handle a Tiger. Hmm....

I know that all the subjects you mention for tips have been discussed amply here on RCTW. At the upper right of this page, you will find a search box. The little gear-like icon on the right end of the box will lead you to a page that allows more sophisticated searches (i.e. "Boolean" type). Check it out.

Hello Alex. Welcome from Argyll and Bute. I’m sure some of our other Australian friends will be along soon.
