Death Heads Torro KV1

Post by Death Head »

Got one of these a few weeks ago, wasn't to impressed with the paint job so given a quick repaint

She started like this

This is where I'm at now

Also been messing around with the insides, I've converted her from BB to barrel recoil and ir, fitted a Polish Tarr smoker, I hated the noise of the stock one and also stuck on a metal commander hatch

Next week I will be ordering a IBU2 Pro and will mod the recoil to use a servo

Ordered a IBU2 Pro lastnight, also got a Visaton FRS 7 speaker, Taigen 4/1 steel gearboxes to fit and did a big order of scale parts from Rctank.de including a correct Barrel, mantel, hull machine gun and engine cover grills :D

Good Morning,
This will be very nice to see once completed. I think that you will be really pleased with the performance of this solid tank. ;o)

Received my IBU2 Pro the other day

Image

Also fitted some 4/1 gearboxs, they were a pain to fit, I had to lower the motors a bit as the upper one was hitting the exhaust outlet, but all sorted now

Must say I'm really impressed with the IBU, the sounds are awesome and the driving experience is just as good and if not better than my Tami Leo, Im also really liking the momentum feature

Yeah I don't know why Android wouldn't working for you but should be straight forward with a computer. Any problems drop me an email and answer as quickly as I can.
