RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

I have 2 VSTanks the m4a3 105 wet and a king tiger. If you know VSTanks you know the turrets don't turn 360 and the infrared only works with other VSTanks. Help! Im a noob and I want more variety than what VSTanks offer and my turrets to turn all the way around. lol I'm also wondering about waterproofing...

Hi Ford

I don't think you'll get much joy with upgrades at this scale - there just isn't a hobby following that I can find (they're more of a toy).
There does seem to be a gap between the very popular 1/35th military modelling - with 1/24th R/C being a hobbyist black hole - and the 'standard' 1/16th R/C offerings that 98% of the users on this forum and around the globe adhere too.

There may be a way to make the turrets 360 see: viewtopic.php?f=195&t=12215 if it's a similar setup?

There are some electronic offerings from http://35rctank.com/index.html that may be adapted for the VSTanks (you'd have to use a different Tx/Rx), and for waterproofing I'd use Conformal coating on the electrics - but again, you're going to send a lot of effort on something that will at the end of the day still be toy grade rather than a scale model!

(Yes, I do realise that 1/16th is still a 'toy'...)

Thanks! I kinda figured they were I wish it wasn't so but, it is... I just want to enjoy what I've got as much as I can after all they got me into the hobby. But I think I will be moving to 1/16 or something more popular, thanks again!
