Now I'm doing as far as the Tigers finished second. If I still get the outstanding sound module, the first two Tigers on Sunday are ready for collection.

But first I have to break down and eviscerate the tower.



Then I made an extension of the cradle of an aluminum bracket and bolted to this.



When I run on the aluminum brackets still purchase a plastic layer bonded to the I was able to mount the servos for the recoil and elevation.









The button for the speed camera I'm building now getting yourself This is not as sensitive as the bought and better adjusted by simply bending the spring steel something.



By the way, so I do not lose the plug I have this still soldered to the regulators.



Next up was the speaker. Bottom and top I had previously gone through.



After gluing and sanding this also fits the same inlet into the tub.

It goes on.

The speaker, of course, gets back their insulation and because I was just I have the same Eeny for the third Tigers cut.



Trimming the electronics and battery box is now a simple exercise.





To control the motor tower I use a micro controller that requires no separate connection to the battery and fits perfectly to the HL-tower drives.



It's just a little difficult to solder the cable to it.



and of course the LEDs get their matching resistors to the battery.



The holder of the upper hull I'm back with magnets and screws twisted plan.







and at the end of today I have as far as it was possible the transmitter programming and installation of the sound module prepared.
If the tiger is still coming tomorrow because even done yet.

Tiger is now the third but made ??ready.

Today I first mounted the rollers and idlers and set the track this.





Next was the adjustment of the upper hull of the series. This again seems to come from a new form. I had to practically nothing even though I will always be ewas excess.



The front must be doubled at the inside a little.



So now you can customize with a little spackle the Sater.



To install the transom with non-fixed I glue the sides with tape. Since no glue holding it and I get the part back from the resulting bracket.



So I can now glue the sides and then the bottom end.





This must now first again harden overnight and tomorrow we continue with the tub.

And on it goes.

After I glued the plastic plates yet processed the rear now looks like this.



By the way I again drilled new housing for the countershaft and milled. In this I have to cut each 15 times an M1, 2 thread again.

This works best when used for tapping a good cooling lubricant emulsion. This I fill out the blind holes using a syringe.



If one cuts the threads in the filled holes, the liquid is forced out of the taps and rinsed with the chips. So the tap stuck not so easy.



Then the gear assembly could begin in the tub and it must take time.



So I have properly aligned with each other and now the gearbox bolted to the counter and sealed enclosures.

Since I had a long night at work and the day will not be less today, I've only worked a little bit on Tiger.

So I am now just been added to shorten the drive shafts to length and hard to solder with the output gear.

For this purpose I first checked with the on-axis position where the gear is soldered and then roughened with a belt sander.





So that the solder is a good connection between the axle and gear I had to hone a few notches in the gear.



So I could then hard-soldering.



Now one must still turn on the solder joints and make everything clean with a rubber polishing wheel.



I even brush your teeth with a small stainless steel brush. So they are not damaged and still all coverings removed from soldering.

Today there is still a first test drive of the tub, but before I have to put the gear ready.

After I've soldered the second drive axle, both annealed and cleaned it comes to installation. The case I fill again completely imt on graphite grease.



Then, the lid must be screwed.



The chain wheels are adapted to a bit of the lathe.





So then they fit exactly over the counter.



And the chain track fits perfectly.



Yet set the suspension at the jacked-tub. The best way to choose if you match strips inserted under the wheels so that they rest at just the right height to adjust the individual rollers. You can say that at least make adjustment in the Bassis.



The chains still mounted. regulator and soldered and programmed for the first test drive.







And of course again a little video of the first ride outdoors.

Good Morning,
Very impressive! The 'Heng Long' type 'super spin' did not faze the tracks or final drives in the least in the outdoors ground cover.

By the holiday and all the work in my local I have not managed to post it yesterday, the further progress of construction, .... then just now ...

Yesterday my daughter has built a little further on Tiger ..... (under my guidance)

First, we have built the attachment of the upper hull. At the front and inside of the front slope, it has adhered to a connector made ??of plastic.



Thus, the structure is kept secure and can forward backward Dodge in collisions with obstacles before major damage occurs.



At the back we have again built a bracket with two magnets. Which can be solved with blows from the front, the upper part has nevertheless firmly in the driving mode and the opening and closing a breeze.







It continues with the speaker. Base and lid are already available, but must still be adjusted slightly.



And so this is also formed slowly. It just takes a little longer if you have never done it, but that does not matter. This is the first Tiger to the woman also helped build .....

Fantastic bit of engineering they look the dogs dangly bits.
Stevie

The third tiger it goes with the internals on. Now is the turn of the electronics.

I build again the plastic together and place the battery divided on both sides.









Then I have already begun to connect Beier sound module.



After I had unpacked the transmitter I have read through the manual myself first, since I have not had this and was nowhere to be found in the manual, the polarity of the receiver. It was only when I looked at the label of the receiver exactly could I find the remnants of the markings as the connectors are plugged in properly after an hour. And so it goes further up next time.
