RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

This kit is available through WELSHDRAGON and it seems substantial but has anyone built one of these kits and if so is the hull strong enough to be converted into an RC runner? Are the control arms strong and functional? How about the drive sprockets and tracks are they at least as strong as Heng Long or Tamiya plastic tracks? Sax

Hi Saxondog,

These kits are definitely NOT RC'able. I built the Maus and, although the resin parts are very good, they are very brittle. The suspension, wheels, tracks, etc. are all resin and have to be glued together. There were no moving parts on the Maus when completed. Could be ok as template for plasticard or ally build but would be more cost-effective to scale-up a 1/35.

Hope that helps.

Chris.

Hi Christan, just another project for me when I finish the King Tiger with the Paintball system and my Night fighter Jagdpanther. I am grateful for the information and a lower hull from you would solve the RC issue, take care Blake

Hi all

Just a quick pic of how far i have gotten with my E-100 stug

So need help with the gun barrel ...any one realy good with a laythe and ail bar ?

I have been looking at big gun barrels for a is3.....have you thought about a tamiya lepard barrel? Its a scale 120mm .....someone on another forum wnt out and bought a cheep fishing rod and cut it to fit......

Would the j'berg e100 barrel work? Failing that maybe a Jagdtiger barrel?

Will you be using the Maus-type turret or the proposed Krupp turret for your E-100?

As for the gun barrel, have you tried looking at some sort of home improvement store? Some copper pipe used for plumbing might be a good start off point.

I love that E-100 stug. It's a monster!
