HI.

[Chipmunk]

Hello all.
I thought I'd better introduce myself as I've been a member since March, oops.
My names Andy and I'm based in St Johns Worcester.
I'm in the process of modifying a Heng Long Tiger 1 non smoke and sound, to represent Tiger 312 of 3. Kompanie/s PzAbt. 505 as seen top photo page 45 of Osprey's Tiger 1 Heavy Tank (not the horses before anyone asks).
My intention is to end up with a functioning and accurate model, so far I have the metal tracks, wheels, sprockets, idlers and Asiatam hull, plus a few other bits and pieces, I've decided this week that I now need replacement gears and possibly motors, the standard metal gearbox seems a bit overwhelmed by the model which is now nearly double it's orginal weight!! A long way to go yet, but getting there.
When I feel it's ready I'll see if I can download a couple of in progress photos, in the meantime if anyone can shed some light on the history of the original I'd be very grateful.
Andy.

Welcome to the forum

Welcome to the forum ANDY. My Tiger S13 is a little over 20lbs. Your should look into a good set of 3:1 ratio steel gearboxes. I have an older set by Asiatam with Gruapner speed 400 motors. They have all the power and torque I need and have never been a problem. Here RE A FEW LINKS, I also would advise checking out the reference section of the forum. cheers Blake
