Jimmy,I am building several projects and a Porsche King Tiger is also a tank I have just acquired. But the gun pivot assembly is very interesting,could you possibly supply some more information? Do you have any photos of the parts prior to assembly? Or is this a situation where is came as an assembly from the vendor. Sorry Jimmy for all the questions but it is unique and very interesting assembly.

Thanks Blake

Hi Blake
I got it from RC Command but Bubbajoexx makes them ask him he mite do one for you if he will have him make it a little smaller on the mount I had to cut mine down to fit the Porsche KT so that the barrel would elevate correctly .

I can't believe I did not know this,talked to Bubba tonight,My Porsche Tiger is from Bubba,and Sunday I spoke with Bill.I've been building a gun system With Dietrich and this piece has been difficult to manufacture for us but that is perfect with some slight modification.
Funny thing is I never thought to look a Bills site,or to ask Bubba his Ideas.Thanks Jimmy, could not see the forest for the tree's.

I was asked how could you slow down the servo for the metal turret mech on the DTC Forum .
One way to due it is with the Turnigy Servo Speed Regulator.
is there away to do it with a resistor or a capacitor or diode .
