RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Here are some provocative photos of it with its armour draped on floor around its ankles. As RobW thought, it has a single motor gearbox. Teeny tiny little speaker mounted vertically on the hull side by the smoker unit. My smoker unit tubes were not pushed over the exhaust stubs. The unit is held in place by its tubes so it moves around a bit too much for my liking. An easy fix. Top of the hull view. Check out the ball bearings for the turret to ride on! What I can see of the turret insides--my servo recoil arm to gun barrel screw is MIA, but that's an easy fix. So there it is. Cute little critter that needs some massaging and finessing. Definitely a walk on the weirder-wilder side for a guy who's used to HLs.
I think this might become my first Pacific Theatre tank.

After throwing away the smoker, there will be a plenty of space for other board. And as it has been proven, you can stuff other gearbox there

When classy hobby first brought out their kit I also bought the 35rctank board setup, if I decide not to build the classy hobby I may just use it in the coolbank stuart.
I wonder what ohm the coolbank speaker is and if the board will support a bigger speaker that was one of my initial findings that it was pretty quiet with no obvious volume control,

Also, there are no holes in the upper hull, so I'll probably cut those out and put in a mesh.

That is the first job I will do when I take it apart, I have already cut the mesh to fit so I just need to cut the holes in the hull

Cheers,Lee.

Are the headlights live? I tried the controller functions but didn't see anything glowing.

Yes, they can be turned on/off by flipping the far right top toggle switch

Cheers,Lee.

Thanks for the internal pics!

The mesh area nearest the turret is part of the battery box cover so it won't get you anywhere as sound goes...unless you move the battery and chop away some of the box. Dang!

You are most welcome.

Mike.

Oooooh, idea--move the battery to the hull in place of the smoker, and use the battery box as an instant double small speaker enclosure with mesh grill!

And first order of the day, install magnets for mating the upper and lower.
