RE: KT and its new mod.
OK, I haven't forgot you guys. I just was working on other mods and thought I would show them all at once and get your opinion. Well the first pic is of the modified recoil gear. Moved the pin to give it a faster release when firing. Second pic is of the final assembly. I used fv432 UK form members mod to beef it up. Really stopped the bracket from bending under the fast recoil.
Now the hull MG. I used WeCoHe's Panther metal hull MG and cut I down to fit inside the KT MG housing and then filled it with epoxy to get what you see. The rest is self explanatory. The servo, wire and how it is hooked up.
The next one is almost done. I took grim_marmazet from the UK form advise and put a MG in the turret and used a modified version of his switch set up. Used to switch between hull and turret MG's remotely. I used a micro switch with a bent servo arm to brush the switch. Instead of a toggle switch and wire. Less movement of parts.
I got tired of disconnecting so many wires when removing the hull or turret so I combined all the wires into one connector. Makes if faster, neater and less drag on the turret for rotation.
The last thing so far is since I put the MG in the turret I had to keep the emitter on the barrel so to make it look clean I drilled a hole in the barrel and ran the wires inside. So now we have minimal view of the emitter.
I also installed micro switches to stop the gun when it reaches full travel both directions.
So there it is. My little contribution. I hope you like and can use them. Any questions or comments please feel free let me know.
