Same motor.

I installed bigger motor??? Naw got it off youtube. Just playing so far. I am enjoying this Tiger.

Thanks all,

David

Hope you enjoy that Tiger David! Great Film work!!!

Tamiya should revise that sounds and make tanks sound like this! Having a tank with this sound set would really bring it to life, by the way, nice driving. I like how you drove it like how it was driven in real life, slowly but menacingly.

Don it is my favorite tank. It is beautiful and handles well. I will improve it some but so far no issues and I run her everyday. I did get a little poison ivy from the woods though. Next will be in flat sand with hills. Nice and slow. Audio needs tweaking but I am learning.Thanks for all comments.

David

Looks and sounds great... I like the slow, purposeful manuevering

Yeah absolutely agree 100%! I cant stand vids of tanks purportedly looking like the real things being driven starting and stopping on a toothpick!! This vid thoughis great!!!

Good video. You did a nice job on the mixing, and I like that you slowed down the real action just a bit. Helps make the model look more real.

yes, wonderful sound! but i miss something... what soundcard or electronics are playing these sounds?

best regards

I'm glad TIGER 301 went to a good home! You need to show off the recoil action also!!

Don

I beleive this is an audio track of a real tank , and then edited into the video. There is no on board sound.

oh my! i feel a bit 'dumb' now!

thank for the reply YHR!

best regards

This was video shot beside the road and all audio is from real tank sounds from Youtube clips.The audio was mixed in an editor. Next will be hopefuly more thought out . THE gun does move and recoil as well. I will shoot one and post. Thanks for the comments.

David

Can't wait!

If HL or Tamiya for that matter would spend a little more time and a few more dollars on their sound boards I be their sales would triple.<div> We all know this has been one of if not the biggest complaint about the electronics in these tanks. It really would not take that much to put some decent sound chips in these tanks. Just makes you wonder where is the logic behind the reluctance to improve their products. I just dont get it.</div><div>With todays technology with sound editing and recording they should be able to include a board that uses a small card like thay use in cameras with proper engine and gun sounds.</div><div>It aint rocket science any more, and it is cheap.</div>

this is the reason why i've just purchased a beier soundcard, expensive for only a soundcard, but you can put sounds in it.


Dash, any good quality souces for these sounds you had used in the video? i hope it will be possible to find them and try them with these sound board...


best regards

yes that could be through ... but ... tamiya have allready descent DIGITAL soundwork for their tanks ... they get passed by on Elmod wich mixes the samples better ... don't forget a MFtamiya module cost 120 euro the same elmot clocks on 200 for the soundmodule alone ... so i would not put the blame on tamiya ... its good quality without bells ... that's what it always was ...

i know guy's which buy a HL Tiger I with metal upgrades for 170euro and buy a elmot for it from 200 euro and still complaining that tamiya is to expensive , he just put 370&euro; into his HL with basic upgrades and Elmod while i payed 420&euro; for the Tiger I from tamiya Full Option ... choose yourself wich tank you think will ride over 12 years and haven't needed much spares over the years ... his HL would never have the quality tamiya provides in the box will cost far more on upgrades then

I know the elmod is bit superior on the tamiya samples but for its price it better be far more superior

For my third KTi chouse a Benedini soundmodul the small one TDSmini costed around99euro ... the samples of that soundcard are far better then anything else on the marked ... the benedini TBS5 for the big ones 1/6 etc ... costed 215&euro; like in the tiger of mark lawson on 1/6 or marcel de groene with his early panther G that's motorsound and gunfire ... topnotch soundmodule ...

i know not too mucho about benedini, the TBS mini ready to run for 99&euro; seems a good deal too, but Karel, what about the sounds that come with the module? do youneed the extra programming cable to put the KT sounds in it?

I have done a lot of work with the Benedini TBS. It is a great sound card, and there are some interesting developments around the corner. You have to buy a programming cable and download the Benedini software to customize your own sounds, but you only need to buy this once.

I personally like the Benedini approach to building a sound track. I feel it is seemless and very believable.

It does not work directly with Heng Long electronics though

Panther G

It is not that inexpensive to build quality sound modules. Cheap is what you get on the RX 18 COB. There is no doubt cheap can be done better then what currently passes for sound on the RX18, but you have to spend a few bucks if you want programmable .wav file sound effects.

yes programmed it comes to 115&euro; on the website, the cable comes within this package

i geuss you have a strong point YHR it can be done much cheaper, but the big players don't see that with our way

That is pretty much my point YHR. It really does not need to cost far too much to put a reasonably good sound function on the current electronics that come in the HL tanks.
I still beleive they would have much greater sales with better quality sound functions. With out getting into the Tamiya Vs HL issue I think karel has a very good point.
I know plenty of guys who spent about 100.00 bucks on an HL tank and then dropped 3 or 4 hundred dollars on upgrades for the mechanicals of the tank and another hundred or more on better sound modules. I admit the Tamiya system is not perfect but is very good for what it is, BUT they of all companies could certainly build a better quality sound device into their system with out driving the cost up to much.
I have looked into the beier system , pardon the spelling but was somewhat stonewalled by someone who did not want to give much detail as to how it works or why it costs what it does. it is in the area of a full El-mod system for just a sound module.
I just sdont understand the reasoning behind the cost of some of these systems. I do realize that the sounds them selves can be a driving factor but once they have made the recordings of a particular tank/gun then there really is no other reason that I can see too justify the price.
electronic components of all types are realatively inexspensive , so what is the primary reasoj for the price?
