RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hello all,

Been into rc for a considerable ammount of time, now getting into rc tanks.

Just purchased y first Taigen Late tiger 1 and im loving it, however im looking to completely upgrade the electronics and gearboxes.

Also been trying to find a full metal upgrade version of the KV-2, where do you guys get your tanks from?

Hallo Chris, Welcome to the Forum,
The first thing you need to do if you want our help in Tank and upgrade dealers is to tell us where you are, The North American landmass ? or perhaps the Antipodes? Europe ? or just maybe the UK? Different countries mean different dealers.
But do not let that stop you asking questions.
Shaun.

Hi Shaun!

No worries im from South Wales / UK

Chris

Greets from Norway , and welcome

if you want a bulletproof gearbox I find the DKLM-RC gearbox ( here I go again ) to be maybe the best as of now .

Here is my jagdtiger with the gearbox installed running with either the Clark tk24 ore new tk60 , ore the IBU3.





and my panther with the same setup



IBU3 will find over at
http://www.rctankelectronics.com/

and I will have some of the DKLM in stock soon

Hi [ICE]monkey +maxmekker,

Does DKLM-RC gear box straight swap as im not very good with modifiying just yet, and the sound on that unit is amazing, what speaker you got in there?

Thanks for the big welcome guys...

Chris

I got a fr7 ( rctank.de ready made one )
It has a IBU3 board ( sound and controll) soundset made by me .

I may have to build up to the gear box install but im very impressed with the sound board, are there sounds availble for them?

Welcome csdnet from still too hot and smokey California. I've purchased many upgrades for my Taigen tanks from Dominique at rctank.de in Germany. Good customer service from him.

If you want to upgrade the gear boxes first, you might give the Taigen V2 gear boxes a try. They are steel and have bearings on all of the shafts. I have them in all of my Taigen tanks and they don't require an upgraded control board to use them.

As far as an all metal KV-2, I don't think anyone makes one. My Torro KV-2 has a metal lower hull, suspension, wheels, tracks, etc. but the upper hull and turret are plastic of some kind.

Good luck with your Tiger 1, you made a good choice. Make sure to show us some photo's as you progress through your build/modifications.

Hi Joe!

I wish it was hot and smokey here in South Wales

Funnily enough i ordered a set of steel v2's just after purchasing the tank, however im thinking of eventually going DKLM on it with the IBU3 board and also some new speakers

i was just curious about the full metal versions, aslong as it has a metal lower hull thats fine by me

I certainly will get some pics on here once i have started my upgrades.

Take Care...
