Nice, , how did you get the turret rotation and m'gun fire without the engine idle ?

Hi sparks, Not sure I know what you mean. Is it not normal. The Tiger has an Elmod pro fitted. Still messing around with it. Got the bkake light working. The turret mg is not working and I want some music added. When I shut my engine down I get Turret movement with handcranking sound. Hull mg sound and main gun and recoil. I think the cold weather was having an effect as my main gun stopped working for a while and mg was kicking in when I was trying to fire main gun. Works ok now that its back out of the cold.

Hi johnf,
It certainly isn't normal on Tamiyas , which are the only tanks I have.

Hi SPARKS, This is'nt a Tamiya its only a poor little Heng Long.
Although not much Heng Long left. It went ok though. 18LBS of tiger certainly made tracks in the snow.

Thanks Don. I need a camera man and a proper camera. That was taken on my phone and it's difficult to operate the zoom and camera with one hand and drive a tank with the other.

Great video John!!! If I didn't know better, I'd think that was my cat playing in the snow LOL!
Elmod certainly does offer some fun things that no one else does!

Hi John

Just enjoyed watching your Tiger perform in the snow. To a total tanking novice like me, do you spray it with anything after a wet run to prevent rust or does a thorough dry do the job. I would like to try my Bulldog outside in the snow also. Hope this isn't too daft a question.

Thanks Yellowshaker.
I think I will kp the snow driving to a minimun. The ice builds up on the idlers a bit. I'm afraid I might put too much strain on the motors and elmod. I will leave it till I have my new toy built. Getting an Armortek Tiger in December. Should cope with any thing. More madness to come.
