just be careful when comparing tanks on ebay, some are older stock so might have the older RX 13 or 14 boards in them even if they are smoke and sound which makes them more expensive to upgrade in the future, ideally you want to get tanks with the RX18 boards in them.

I've checked my Bulldog and has one working headlight and two tail lights.

I've just "accidentally" ordered a Bulldog and a Tiger1 from the eBay seller i posted above lol. Both come with the RX18. The first thing I want to do is try make my own smoke generator as the one in the tiger I had before was very poor.

@Tankbear = thanks for that, on a video on YouTube I watched it showed the Bulldog and smoke only came from one side but it looked like smoke only came from 1side, is this true? if so I might have to do some plumbing and get it coming from both lol

My bulldog is piped to both sides and loads of smoke comes from the smoker. See how you get on with the installed smoker if no good plenty of info on how to make it better.

PS welcome to the tank club.

I'm already looking at what I can do to modify it hahaha I wanted to start with the basic model so I can add stuff myself. I already plan on hopefully chopping the light that actually lights up off and filling that area then replacing the 4fake lights with actual working ones lol Just need to try find where I bought the replacements last time haha. I also want to get it resprayed to get rid of the plastic look

Im currently looking on the forum for ideas

Don't you just love getting deliveries like this will it damage the batteries if I use my Pro=Peak Varipulse charger?

As long as charger is compactable and don't charge at too much current you should be ok.

I normally charge mine at 1A max, I find the extra heat generated with larger currents make it stop charging before full charge.

Ian.

How much smoke fluid do i put in?

Just a couple of drops. Overfilling will stop it working.

My uncle is mega gutted. We've come to "play" lol and his Tiger doesn't work. There is no sound, the gun won't fire and the machine gun doesnt work
