Really interesting RC in this small scale, I will have to look into making one of these in 1/35.

Great work Ferny.

Thank you

Ferny any videos or additional pictures? I'd like to see the tank in action

Hi you all. Nice 35 scale Tigers I see here. I have one and will post some pictures of it here asap..Mine has the original twin metal gearbox with upgrade motors. I built the kit about 25 years ago and built enough of it so I could roll it around on its tracks but never did any detail build work so it is not finished and at some point lost the box so will need a donor kit to finish. Most of my collection of r\c Tanks has Toy grade electronics with custom work added to my taste. I have HG electronics for all the models and have started to upgrade them slowly. The electronics (2 channel rx with 2 esc's) in my Tiger have been working in there for over 20 years but would like to add turret control and such to my 1\35 scale stuff and that will require radio upgrade.


Here is a video of the Tiger running on a small test track in my condo This video has no commentary but rather self explanatory as to the functions of the custom ESC. Only 1 ESC here as the motors are wired in series. It has a timed function that allows it to run without input for a short while and is push button timed control with PB steering. Can be driven with one hand and often is I use this Tank as a Test bed for my custom ESC mods and such. I use to design wheelchair controllers and drive systems so some of that tech is in this Tiger.

Had this lying around and unloved for ages so decided to bring it up date with some more modern electronics/radio.

It has a fly sky 6 channel radio with all the mixing done in the rx 2 cheapo escs from eBay all the servos and red gears are from rapid electronics.



Also added an elevation servo which uses the gears from the original traverse gear box.

The painting and weathering are not my best but I'm on the look out for a cheap donar kit to replace most of the upper hull and turret .

You are in the right place Ferny
Nice model Ferny. I like the gun elevation setup you came up with.
