OOPS!!! Sorry

No issue at all mate .
Did you print your parts or did you buy them from Ryan ?
I think what happens at that centre join for the hull stabilizers is some printers aren't big enough to print a complete stay so they do one at a a time then join them (I think) I have a huge printer so I'm good .
I'm printing right now I threw an idler arm out my fault , I'm a little ham fisted and where the hex rod received in the idler arm it broke .lol

Yeah, my printer was not big enough, so I had to splice. It works fine this way.

I have a video up here of my barrel recoil check it .
If you are using a Clark board with a servo it's usually J2 and it works straight out of the box, just plug and play but use a quality high torque/speed servo for that recoil hit like in real life a digital servo you can adjust to super fast recoil and set the return speed how you like it . If you're just using a physical thru the RX use the flap servo and same use a good servo. If you're just going thru a RX use a Helo setting as you could get all sorts of pop up effects with the extra channels and probably use the receiver/gyro for the 2 plane system the later Shermans had .

Cheers mate .

Thanks, great info!!! I want to get a smoke machine working also but have not gotten that far.

All parts purchased from Ryan. The printer answer makes perfect sense.

hello,
being a beginner in radio control (1/6 is a fairly huge scale!), I wanted to know if you could help me by giving me a diagram of the connections to be made from spyker engines for the dragon sherman as well as the list of electronic parts to buy in addition to the spiker kit?
I would like: to roll the tank forward / backward, to turn it right / left, to turn the turret, to have the recoil of the gun with a light diode for shooting, and above all to have the sound (shooting, rolling)
Also , which lipo battery ( or other )take? thank you in advance for your precious help....

[Biasphere1]

Bender , no disrespect intended an SSD in my PC went down and this is the first time I figured out to get back on this site mate!
If you're still about let me know where you're up to. I had to down tools on my Sherman and I've forgotten where I'm up to and what goes where, I might just sell this one , only cosmetics left and start again as I've got a few 1/6 Shermans in boxes LOL.

Do you know how many hours it took to you to go there ,

Cheers dude I've gone further now I'm home for a week or two ,but alas I think my best mate wants to buy her from me the scumbag has even paid a deposit lol.I h8 that guy just when I was getting back into the build ha ha .
These kits are available but getting rarer by the day , there was a fellow selling a kit in a big metal box lol, if you want one.What country dude ?
I bought out my hobby shop chain of their 1/6 Shermans I want the Dragon PZKFW2 they make to turn it in to an Rc DAK type .

Hi, Yes India is rainy (not so nowourdays) and Wales can be but NORMANDY (France) is a lot too
And yes, I'm looking for a 1/6th scale tank
I missed a PZKFW2, in Rouen last week, it will be at the Expo for the 80th commemorations.
