Tiger on the move.

Post by Meter rat »

Needed to move out the Tiger today. Definitely needs boards to indicate wide loads.

Looks cool Ian. Since I know very little about the RC trucks (although some of the Tamiyas 1/14 ones I have seen in the flesh look amazing) does the extra weight of the Tiger help in driving outside?

You need a couple of these hanging banners (or in German: "Breitladung")

One of my favorite stories from the "Combat History" of the 503rd is near the beginning of the book, describing young Alfred Rubbel's first 'encounter' with a new Tiger:

These HuiNa trucks are awful. More expensive than WPL, but come without suspension or even proportional steering, and the speed is on or off. This has a WPL system to gain proportional speed control, and steering. They do need additional weight, to get them to run on flat ground. These photos are just posed, so I did not actually run it with the tank on. I was quite surprised at how well it did when I ran it with just the trailer empty. The original comes with quite a weighty metal cab, with additional metal weights fitted. Having a plastic cab, and the weights were not fitted, it did lift the front wheels, so no steering.
