1/35 scale tanks
I know that there are some threads on these tanks but I have a few questions.
First, I wanted to know which of these tanks have working suspesion systems. Do certain makers all have suspensions that work or are they simply hit or miss? Can any be made to rc or are only some able to be redone like this? I have never seen or built any of these tanks, so I haven't a clue on how they are set up.I thought the road wheels and sprocetks would all be fixed in place with CA glue during the build. Any links or help on this is appreciated as I would like to build maybe a KT or JT in this scale to make rc. Also, any info on making recoils and turret rotation would be a great help too. Thanks fellas!

RE: 1/35 scale tanks
The 1/35 Tamiya Panzer IV RC I've built did not have a working suspension and I've built a King Tiger 1/35 by Dragon non RC that can be made into an RC working tank but has a non working suspension, can't say it can't be done but I didn't try to do it. The dragon has more detail to it, PE parts and metal tracks.
Here is the link to the Tamiya Panzer IV RC kit. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10...m.htm#10049303

Hmm, yes I have sen the Tamiya 1/35 scale. I as more interested in the standard kits made by other companies like Dragon and a few others I have seen. I know there are a ton of tank modles available in this scale, just don't know how to find which can be made rc with working turret and suspension.

I bought the RC leopard and Abrams from WSN. Both have working suspension. As a matter fact they have everything that a 1/16 Heng Long has. Less then $100 for the pair

Where did you find the WSN tanks at?

They sell the parts,
"All kits include parts for workable suspension, turret rotation, gun elevation and a sound effect unit. To achieve high speed of modern tanks, all kits are powered by 280 carbon brush motors, with FET ESC control. All kits are carefully designed to make the conversion easy. Parts are produced by high precision CNC machines using metal and stainless steel..."
