Mini 4wd “torque-tuned” ( HobbyKing) works great in the original Heng Long gearbox. Quite a bit faster. I dìd use the resistors from a broken smoker. No idea what the Ohms are.

It works, with the only caveat that the -already not very silent- plastic gearbox makes a hellish racket in protest. multiple times louder than the sound from the sound module. Maybe time to go the metal gearbox-way. How much noise does that make?

This gear is very silent.

Very nice job.

Thank you.

The turret can now be turned 360 degrees with a slip ring. Marker light, Side marker light, Rear head light and Shtora can be turned on individually.

The turret turns faster.

Kintaroukinji,

Impressive and very nice!

Cheers,

The turret rotation and stabilization is such a modern touch: well done! The sound of the turret rotation resembles a siren, or am I mistaken? I know too little about tanks after WWII. I wish there were some book explaining all the modern gadgets that come on MBTs.

Thanks for your comment. To be sure, the turret whirling sound sounds like a siren. Since the sample sound is played repeatedly, when the sound is played for a long time, an unexpected intonation appears and the sound becomes like a siren. I plan to replace the turret swivel sound in the future.
