Hi tankers!

I want to show You one of my projects - Abrams.

I want to build SEP TUSK version with NATO camo scheme.

I bought Mato metal road wheels and metal tracks with rubber pads. I will use for this project HL Upper Hull and Turret. Now Im waiting for metal lower hull and TUSK side armor.

Also I decided to use brushless gimbal stabilization because brushed one (Clark, Tamiya etc) are working so bad - latency, inacurrate etc.



As You can see, it works good. Also I can turn ON/OFF stabilization. The biggest problem is inertia effect when stabilization is OFF. I think this is software problem. If it will be possible, I will try to fix it.

Wow, that looks awesome!!!!!!
Where did you get the kit from?
Cheers

Abrams turret, gun and hull from local HL distributor. Gimbal controller is from Aliexpress

I like it. Is that a metal Reinfoement for the plastic chassis? Or are you going with the metal lower from Ludwig's?

In video You see my aluminium reinforcement. But I have problem with making suspension arms (I want torsion bars). So I ordered hull from my friend from Hong Kong

Little update.

First test run with 2s LiPo. Motors are brushless 900kv with 1:30 reduction. Gearbox 3d printed. Open Panzer control board

Finally drilled 4 holes to mount mine plow. It will be controlled via transmitter. I will connect it to internal ESC in OP board.
