Taigen panzer iv kit.

This section is for builds that are not strictly Tamiya or Heng Long. For instance, replacing the electronics from a WSN or Matorro, or even a scratch-build.

Cheers Max for the advice on the gear boxes, Just ordered a set, so shall see how they perform when they get here. Likewise cheers to Jarrndice for the wealth of information. I have a feeling this will turn into a nice long build.

Cheers al for watching, more updates to follow. Now for today I think I may have a look at removing those switches on the bottom plate and look at a good place to relocate them.

|If you want to experiment I can send you a pair of more powerful 360 motors, as well as some 380s (no charge) if you don't have extra of those. Have you got a pinion puller?

No I do not have a pinon puller. If you have a link to buy one that would be ace. Likewise a massive thank you for the spare wheels and boxes you sent me. Going to be super helpful on this build. That would be ace if you could help me out with those motors. Cannot wait for this to start moving.

OK, just give me few days to find stuff. I still have your address. I'm pretty sure I did the last box for free, so this time I might ask you to paypal me ten bucks to help with the postage. I like to help out wherever I can, but if i don't get help with postage I would soon go broke. Well, broker than i already am, anyway. @)

Ok, update time, i placed an order for the gear boxes and a few other bits and bobs coming in the post. All should be here within the next week or so. I also have a G.I Smoker on order from forebear tanks. So starting to look like I've gotten all the electronics sorted.

I have one like this and it works well, but I always advise that you shop around. You may find one you like better or at a better price.

I'm still sorting out motors, so pleas be patient. Hope that helps.

Perfect, thank you for the link. Take your time on the motors. No rush. This is a nice long winter build.

Still waiting on the gearboxes to land before I can crack on with the build, cannot add the internal electronics until I have the gear boxes installed. Hopefully they will come in the post some time soon.
