RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi all,

New member here!

I'm Andrew, a 40 something dad from Sussex, currently reliving my childhood through my 12 y/o son.

We have a Tiger 1 that started life as a Heng Long but now has precious little left of the original save for the electronics.
From the leftovers I am currently a building a brushless fantasy Sturmtiger/Jagdpanther hybrid thing. It has 3600kv motors, 30A aircraft ESC's and currently running 2S 60C lipo battery. I'm going to have to gear it down a little but it will be interesting to see what lets go first, the plastic gears or plastic tracks!

I'll post some piccies when it is in a fit state to be seen.

Bye for now,
Drew.

Hi rileyelf.
Welcome to the forum.
Reliving your childhood! judging by your mods and build you are well up to speed on the electronics side of things.
Piccy's are always welcome and appreciated by all.

Good Morning,
Welcome to the Forum! Pictures please of your amazing build when you get the chance. We love to walk around and kick the virtual road wheels. ;o)
regards,
Painless

Welcome Andrew!

Drew welcome to the Forum, a Tiger 1 you say, well I don't think there can be many of them out there, I mean I have one and Painless has to many and Tanks for the Memory has some, hmm now I think about it nearly everybody has at least one, which means if you have a question we probably have the answer, and if we have a question you probably have the answer, now that's what I call a plan! enjoy the Forum and please do tell what your next Tank is? shaun

Yes, Tiger 1 isn't exactly original but it's always been my favourite. My current build is tiger in lower hull and half the upper, the rest I have made of card and papier mache!

My next tank will be a Chally (if the rumours are to be believed)

Cheers,
Drew.

Drew my friend I was not taking the rise, just observing that just about everyone of us love's Tiger's and rightly, whether Heng Long, Taigen/Torro, Trumpeter, WSN or Tamiya they are all impressive in 1/16. I think that you will be in a lot of company if the Challenger does show its face. Take care. shaun

hi drew & welcome to the forum
everyone has a tiger or two........................
it'd be rude not to
so a jagdpanther sturmtiger hybrid?
sounds pretty cool to me
cheers
