do you mean servo's for the gearboxes ? are you going to keep the orriginal dual clutch gearboxes ? you'd be best off switching them for some 3-1's

cheers,

Ive got the same Old 1970's KT. If its a clutch version you wont be able to use an RX18 or tammy control box.Ive got ACOMS in there and it works well but the main trouble is and CRISPY (will vouch for this) the engine in these eats batteries. Mine runs for around 10 minutes before the battery needs chopping out! Getting the clutch alinged Juuust right is a must and be careful where you spray the oil! The clutches can be finickity. If money allows think about ditching the oldgearboxes and put a dual box in

Does the old girl contain the Turret turn motors? bit of a weird set up. When you turned the tank teh turret turned! I disconnected mine!

Got any pictures if teh gizzards?

will get a pic or two tomorw for you rocket

Ok, what should happen is that there is a rod, that comes from the clutch servo arm. It's attached to a small two way circuit breaker. When you steer the tank, it moves the servo which moves the arm which activates the awitch which send ppower to the motor into the turret turn mechanism.

Simple really
