RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Thanks Brel, its amazing what a few sheets of plastic and some scissors can achieve.

A bit more paint, and added a heavy duty towbar. I want to build a tank transporter trailer once I have completed the tank. It's got a universal joint, so it should be able to tow over undulating terrain without getting jammed up.

Update - It's all painted and weathered now, the racks and gun have been glued down, a muzzle flash led placed in the barrel, and an mg fitted.

I have installed one of my Elmod boards in a component box, fitted a 4 pin plug on one end for the motors, a two pin for the power, and can now remove it and install it in any tank in one go. All I need to do is switch the jumper settings for different tank sounds as they are all on the sim card. I designed it so that it will fit into a Panzer III hull, it will also go in the T34, so in theory as these are the smallest hulls, it should go in anything.

I could not believe how tight the P3 hull was though, there is not a mm of spare space anywhere even with everything cut out from inside. I will post a video when everything is up together properly, I am waiting for some magnets for the hull mounts.

Update...As the new forum deleted all of the build pics, I have put them on You Tube....

looks great are you taking it to the luton meet

Yes, it will be there. It will of course be the most agile tank killer on the battlefield, ready to take on the best of British armour. I have a pair of low ratio gearboxes on the way from Forgebear so hopefully they will be installed by then.

It will be great to see everyone again, and having a good indoor battlefield is going to be a huge bonus, thanks for arranging it.
