Here I go again! (tamiya early tiger build)
Having been made an offer I couldn't refuse for the previous early tiger I had just completed I have managed to snaffle a bargain tamiya tiger off eBay, £170 with battery's, 6ch tx/rx and chargers. It was described as being 10 years old so I was expecting the old tus. However I was pleasantly surprised by the modern ones that it actually came with.
Some small tinkering was required, the fella couldn't get the recoil working (I suspecet because of the digital trims on the tx) and when I got it going the recoil was very sticky which can break the mfu. Some bending and grinding was required but it's all working.
I also looks like its sitting down very slightly on its suspension so I might replace the torsion bars with the new ones I got with the previous tiger I built.
Pictures and a vid to follow!
