Default working bridge Layer getting near to finish

hope you like it taken almost 12 months to get this far its built on a Tamiya Pershing lower everything else has been scratch built , It has an IBU pro and 3 extra ESCs to operate the bridge.

Hi Guys here is the final model ,sorted most of the little problems , just one left when trying to re-engage bridge on a smooth surface it tends to slide rather than engage but , it works and here are some photos and a video . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhAb...ature=youtu.be

Awesome work!! Yea, guessing when your on some dirt it may not slide as much. You could try some foam tape on the underside of the bridge ends to give some grip on slick surfaces. Are the actuators CTI, Actuonix, or scratch built worm drives?

Yep it sure did well over 12 months probably nearer to 15 months before it worked every time , had to bump up the voltage change all the electrics from the first time I tried it that's 5 ESCs inside and the motors on the rams.

Hi Guys thanks for the comments ,it was a challenge to build , think its about MK10 the number of changes made , but it kept me out of the way of the boss now to finish the other projects that have been backing up, some of them I have been doing while waiting for bits to come , must get on with them have a DD Sherman almost finished . Will post when it works might have to post it in the subs section lol

Hi I just tried my best to copy this guy http://www.borsti2000.de/
Take a look at his stuff he has built the mine clearer is amazing and his bergpanzer let alone his bridge layer which gave me the idea to build mine. He is a genius Just wish I could build more of his models . I do use his site for ideas.

regards pete
