RE: Tamiya tiger Killer
Tom I will post some still pictures, Inside and out.
Mustclime
This tank has a Benedini sound board for the engine only, Now I do not think anybody can say the Benedini is not equal too or better than tamiya. This tank has Visaton FR8 speakers again argueably the best in the business and I would use them over Tamiya any day.
Anybodies arguement against this particular tank that the sound is not on par with or better than Tamiya is quite frankly not true.
A 2 min vid on you tube is hardly a credible way to judge anything.
The gear noise you hear is there yes but I would expect that with brand new gears and motors. This noise will go away and not be a concern once they are broken in. As they are steel I will be using diamond paste to wearand polish the gears.
The point of thevideo was to have the brush and twigs snap under the weight of the tank and too show off a bit of the mobility despite the weight of this thing which is considerable for a 1/16th
As for the comment that your Tamiya would eat the other tanks you ownI can not nor will I comment, I have not seen your tanks nor watched them battle so without evidence I need to accept your opinion at this point.
I can say without a doubt that no one can say that this tank will fail with regard to mechanical parts. As a matter of fact with all the metal parts I would have to assume the failure rate will be considerably lower than expectations
In addition I can say without a doubtverses this Tiger no one,has a shot distance advantage ora shot width advantage. It is a legal battle tank but it is not a stock battle tank.. this tank, canfitted with aTamiya appleso an operator does not give upthe advantage of the 45 deg defence etc.
In short its like I said this tank is every bit as good or better than a Tamiya.
I will reiterate this is not meant to inflame tamiya lovers or be derogatory to Tamiya quality, This is showing you a Non Branded productthat was modified to compete at the same level. it wasdone easily, effectively and with a lower cost than Tamiya. Therecan beno argument to those points. Only time will tell how reliable the sum of the parts will be.
Next up will be a KV series tamiya killer
