New to R/C tanks

[SprockeTrax]

Good evening, just for fun, Tiger I Tamiya assembly instructions
https://www.tamiya.com/cms/english/rc/r ... 09-114.pdf

Thanks for posting these instructions- I didn't realize they would be so useful, until I began looking through them page-by-page.

They provide insight into how this type of R/C model is engineered (surely HL and others scrutinized, and then adapted, the Tamiya).

Such a different "approach" to instructions from those that were included in the RTR Heng Long T-34 that I recently bought.

I am still having trouble doing a Search.

For example, if I type in King Tiger, is says, "The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: king tiger.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards."

Same, if I type in Tiger.

But, if I type in Battery, I get some results.

Please advise me as to what I am doing wrong. Thanks!

The word Tiger is used in many post. So adding an additional word or two should help find what you are lookin for. King Tiger II section: viewforum.php?f=133

Try--- King Tiger Tracks ---or King Tiger Battery, Something along those lines.

Thank you, Ecam and jarndice,for the replies.

I'm now getting better results with the Search feature.

I'm dividing my available time between the R/C tank, and this forum.

Hah! I just tried a search for "Matilda" and it came back with 585 hits! I can see why Tiger is a bit too plentiful to list!

I can't give the Matilda the slightest thought without hearing Jean Reno saying Mathilda

Whenever I use the search function, I search for what I'm trying to find out about the particular tank, rather than the tank.

Hello, I think that ur "Google" the best is to type, RC King Tiger rc tank u 1/16 th, Tamiya, Torro, Taigen or Heng Long, by adding "youtube videos" should find a lot more things

For some years I have been using Google Advanced Search, which function allows multiple terms and lots of options: https://www.google.com/advanced_search

Thanks you, Herr Dr. Professor, for this tip. I never knew GoAdSe existed. Makes sense that it does exist ha. I'm having a great time figuring it out!!

The only "advanced search" I ever used was Ebay's, in order to include/ exclude etc. words, and thus save time.
