got the rx18 in the k/t had a bit of trouble with the sound being too low
quick call to dave (forgebear) and he kindly took the lid off a jagdpanther and walk me through the wiring of the sound switch which we found was wired differently than the H/Long

heres a before will post an after when i get a pic

I like those gearboxes, they are quite flexible

Regards

Jake


Many thanks jake

love those asiatams can be made to fit anything 

list of improvements mods done

fitted asiatam gearboxes
RX18 board with H/long smoker
upgraded  the mattorro transmitter with a S&S board  (had to re-wire the whole thing in the end  )
thought that would be a straight swap out but no  >:( >:(
refitted the mg and new led orange one fitted

tested for working had to have a drive the fun bit 

Great work so far fv432 I am watching this one with intrest as I will be upgrading my KT over the next few months.

the asitams make a hell of a difference in driveability and the 18 board is a must over the mattorro leccies

when you do yours if you convert your controller to h/long parts its pretty easy 

HL electronics already in using an RX14 with fan cooling. The plan is to drop in a set of 3:1 HL gearboxes and beef up the Matorro suspension and using HL Tiger 1 spigots and metal suspension arms with spacers to compensate for the offset on the Matorro arms. Bought a set of Tamiya drive and idler wheels along with the Tamiya idler adjustment system thanks to Welsh Dragon Models . Thinking of using a spare WSN T34 unit to get the barrel recoil working ( Saving some penny's for the metal tracks and DBC battle unit ). If the suspension upgrades don't work out to well I will have to look at getting my grubby mits on a Tamiya KT hull and going to town on that and waiting for the metal tracks and DBC  . But all this is for the future as I have a couple more tanks in line first like a Tamiya Tiger 1 ( converted to a late model ) and the Stug (metal wheels raised metal return roller mountings and the wider Eastern front tracks ). Just have to get the recoil going the correct way and give it a flash over with the airbrush. All the best for now
Alan ( so FEW tanks so MUCH work )       

got your work there alan 

have you thought of using the stug re-coil mech for the k/t i know dave is getting some in
im using one on my tiger once pete 971wright has explained how to do it to me again reminds me must ask him lmao

Now there is an idea . I have to do that mod to the Stug so why don't we pester Peter ( again )
Alan
Note to self :- pester fv432 on how to fit said recoil unit into KT turret
