Fantastic!! Folks have been drooling over your KT again then Wicked mate

Brilliant,nothing like using the real thing for weathering effects

Hey hatakashi

Great pictures as always, you didn't have to go To HK for the Monsoon weather   You should have seen the rain we have had here, in Merry Old England. He, He, He,

Brilliant KT .

yeah Steiner I've heard it has been raining really heavily in England...wish I had stayed for few more months! 

ohhh thats dangerously deep water

Very nice pics there great job

Even more amazing shots of your KT! Out of interest, how waterproof is she? And how was it done? I would love to waterproof my Tamiya Tiger 1, but im not sure how to do the torsion bars.
Cheers,
Rik

Hello rik, owning to the different contruction of my KT than a standard Tamiya Tiger, the hull of my KT is 'pretty' much waterproof, there are a few tiny openings beneath the motor and at the track tension adjusters.  But water will only go into the hull if the tank is stationary in a deep pond of water for few mins.  Also, all electronics have been raised and are situated almost all at chassis roof so in theory my KT can take over 4 inches of water before things start to go wrong.  here's a pic of the interior of my KT during its construction:

Another great video of a great tank

Hatakashi, are you still on the offensive in HK ?  Will you be returning to the UK in time for the Winter rain and mud. He, He He.
