I'm a former tank crewman and retired from the Cdn army. I'm currently finishing up building a 3D printed SD KFZ222 1/10 scale RC Armored Car and will be building a 3D Printed 1/10 Scale RC Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. J tank over the course of the upcoming winter. While the printing/assembly of the tank will be straightforward I'll be relying heavily on this forum when it comes to configuring the RC control as that part of the plans I bought are somewhat vague

Re: Hello everyone
Welcome from south and west of you in Southern Wisconsin. You are already into two fine projects! There are all kinds of RC and 3d Printing wizards here on RCTW whom you can bombard with questions. I enjoyed your note that you will especially need help "when it comes to configuring the RC control as that part of the plans I bought are somewhat vague." Oh, yeah! I can really sympathize with that!
Some of the instructions for RC are...well...

Hello and welcome from Argyll and Bute, Scotland. I too struggle with RC electronics, and to be fair most modelling..

As for 3d printing that is definitely some form of dark art, practiced by computer literate warlocks.

Re: Hello everyone
Hi Dan, I'm near Perth, Ontario, so not too far away. You 3D print?!
OK, so I need a T34/76 (1940) turret, Grant from the hull up, Priest from the hull up, and an entire Matilda II--all in 1/16. Can they be ready by the end of next week? Awesome. Thanks!
Mike.
