RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

OK, I got most of the stuff for the Abrams from ebay, and the seller is toucanhobby. Is there a specific item you want to know about?

Thanks Max-U52... I just ordered a few things from TankArmy over in Australia. The shipping is as much as the items I'm buying. Anyway, new detailed sprockets, new loaders hatch and new CWS. I ordered vision blocks and periscopes from another source and final drive bearings from RC Tank Modified. This is truly becoming an international Abrams. Parts from Australia, Thailand the U.K. And USA...

So how do I post pictures? It tells me the file is too big and max is 350 KiB...
How do you post?

I'd like to know more about the henntec compensating idler wheel axle...

For photos I upload to photobucket first, then copy them here.

I'll be interested to see what the vision blocks look like.

Well my M1A2 abrams has arrived and I will be doing it as a Australian one

I'm still waiting for my periscopes and vision blocks...what color did you use and was it transparent? Also did you paint the back side or between the tow plastics?
I mounted my slip ring and although it has the wrong connectors I hope to repin. Also possibly cut a three pin down to two pin. Not sure if it can be done...

Here's a bit of my progress. I installed the Henntec track adjuster and seems to work great. I also purchased a h/l recoil unit and was wondering if there is a better one or any instructions on installing it. I'd like to know what servo to use also how to upgrade my gun elevation system. I'm finding a bunch of great info here so thanks to all you guys for the info. I have the 360 degree turret ring gear and am looking forward to seeing how that works out, also a 360 slip ring.
Also anyone out there have any advise on total weight the Abrams should weigh for it to respond correctly with the terrain would be appreciated. Thanks to all for your ideas and directions!

Got my vision blocks and periscopes but I'm holding out till I get the hull mechanics done. Then I'll move on to the turret upgrades.
