Hi Guys,
I just found THIS on YouTube....

Amazing bit of resourceful engineering ....its just a pity that the assembly is SO big .....The guy has done the same conversion to a Tiger 1 and a jagdPanther...but there is NO ROOM left inside to put the battery so it rides on the rear deck and rather spoils it.....There must be a way to just change gear rather than adding another gearbox WITH motor attached !!
SO does anyone have an idea??
The second speed only uses the plastic gears because the TOTAL reduction must be enormous and so there is no real strain on them they just rotate quickly No wonder his Tiger can climb out of a 'hole'

Well, to be honest, i dont really see the point. My KT with stock gearboxes and Schumo reduction gear pulls out of the same kinda holes he does with his Tiger.

Nice innovation though, but still a lot of things to work out imo. Putting the battery on top of the rear deck also spoils the look of it.
