eto is pleased to announce that we will be carrying the Modellspiegel line of heavy duty transmissions. Our first shipments have arrived last week and are on sight.

I have a set here and am experimenting with them. So far I have found nothing that can either stop them or damage them, including churning through deep mud...our mud in Krim that is roughly like concrete. All systems I have are the 'off road' system at 50:1 reduction for scale speeds.

The systems are a drop in bolt in system and include all the needed hardware to install them. They are a little longer than the stock systems and may require some rearrangement of electronics etc, but everything fits.

We will also have in stock in about 2 weeks the first order of Henntec idler systems. We will have the systems for Tamiya Tiger 1, KT, and Panther/Jagdpanther. For Heng Long we will have the Tiger 1 and King Tiger systems.

For WSN we will have the T 34 system.

and these will fit in HL and WSN also?
if so that's cool i always liked the style of these units

sevoblast

If you mean HennTec, yes, I will have HennTec idlers for HL and WSN. Of course they are different from the Tamiya systems but the principle is the same. The transmissions are basically the same for any tank, just the mounts and final drive extensions are different.

good I was wanting a henntec for my upcoming jag project...

sevoblast

HL or Tamiya?

Those gearboxes look bullet proof

sevoblast

They are. I can't break mine here, and I've tried. Broke a metal track, though.

My Feedback: (1)

The TU's make a standard one look quite weak. They are surely competition grade stuff.

Hello,

I am very proud that I may work together with Robert.

I try in addition to the standard armor, for all other tanks to build a chain tensioner.
If you have questions or suggestions, you feel free to inform me or the Robert.

Right now I'm building a system for the Tamiya Leopard 1







Yesterday I got a delivery from electroplating, I think am able to deliver soon.

A drop-in geaarbox unit for the t-34 is needed!

Any other improvement (metal idlers, suspensions, track tensioner, tracks) is secondary.

Any idea how well these will fit into regular HL / Asiatam hulls yet?

@strato 50 :  in a Asiatam TigerI Lowerhull is no problem,look at a picture

I wonder how hard it would be to install one in my Elefant...lol

FreakyDude

more a question for your wallet rather than your tank lol

DirtyBird69

Yeah...I've been thinking about that all metal porsche tiger, this would make a perfect gearbox for it...but then your talking some serious money for a 1/16...hmmm

FreakyDude

if your going that far spend the extra and get that Tiger 1 from Aero Mate. This box seems like it was made for that beast. I don't know how anybody else feels but that Aero Mate, this gear box.... heck you could weld a lawn chair on top and drive the tank to work

I read a few reviews on the HENNTec idler system, seems very cool. Id like to know a little bit more... do the idler attach arms extend far into the axle?

I have the asiatam tiger hull (2.0), it's awesome but the weak spot are the idler adjusters. Even when installed properly & set screws tight, the idler arms still wobble back and forth. If the idler arms extend into the axle then no more wobble!

Before today & reading this thread again I had no idea the HENNTec system existed.. so far I like it!

Edited a picture to show what I mean.

This gearbox might work in a T-34, The design allows you to place it right at the back, and you don't have to worry about the diameter of the final gear drive like you do on the traditional boxes.

sevoblast

Shafts go in to the support, depending on the tank, 3 to 4.5 cm. Nice and strong.

I had henntec's installed on my M41 beforeI sold it and was very impressed with them......The only thing I didn't like is that the Metal idler wheelsthat came with the set had shafts that wouldn't stay set in the wheel which caused a bit of wobbling after a while which required removing/disassembling the idler wheels and resetting the shafts with ablock and hammer....I'd figure there might be the same issue if there is a kit for the M26....
