Back to revisit the issues see how this goes with sprockets and metal drive gears mentioned earlier you do it when you can .

see if there is a improvement not mato tracks .
correct gentlemen



now i like the clearence in sprocket and track.



the track guide runs freely which i like .

show soon

really track guide needs to be free running or you get binding have a look inner sprocket no real use first issue also on trsck guide wear even if plastic guide you see binding



outside sprocket perfect



Guide





difference new track the guide horns have more movement

More investigation you find the issue the guide on tamiya is not central .



Right hand track will see left technically the guide it should run free not fixed .

Progress tracks on perfect plumming in bluetooth works a dream just remember you need power stereo amp your set.



sits right in driver hatch for access

I hope you like this.

All set up works flawless .
Vol up down with phone 100% .



You could place bigger speakers just hold back because it is a tamiya .
Also get phone calls 🙈 okay sorry i used mono amplifier module 5vdc_ 9vdc reason space it has its own seperate volume just turn high use phone for control.

next the red laser mount this next upper turret .



Tested works perfect 5vdc

I have to say I love the look of your custom sprocket. I don’t have any issues with the stock Tamiya sprockets in fact they have proven extremely durable and reliable. But if those custom sprockets were available for purchase I would be tempted just based on the “cool looking factor” they have.

As you are aware the holes have been precasted why they did not do them only tamiya can answer this ?
your correct they will be okay my issue i had was alignment .
going thru the test it runs as they should be smooth and quiet .
the free spinning and floating centre track
guide not being fixed was the solution for me i will fix sprockets mill out the stock sprockets easy they are marked .




Fit and mount laser how much £4 or €10
manage to show a few tank guys yesterday how fast did the note books and pen come out sure no problem just a sec need to make a phone call lol funny gentleman .
he is not on the tank handy again 😂😂
make me laugh jaurndice good to hear from you get handy call from tamiya development team .

Tested works well no binding run on some coarse granulate above a fine sand which had issued prior only going on what i have experienced highly recommend doing this and ripped thru it .
not sure if all track guides being solid centres produced a slower track speed i have noticed a vast difference in improvement being on metal tracks next place on Tamiya plastic tracks see what happens .

Thx MAUS45 tracking so smoothe the running gear and if only i could help make some improvements helpful bluetooth your rc tanks my friends a Henglong ,Taigen, Mato , Tamiya nothing will compete with your cheap upgrades making your rc tanks a knowledge weapon it works on 5v dc
Jarndice , adlav will catch up soon tuff year dark indeed feel your pain good to chat.
love tanks also retro radio

Interesting to see mounting in other models .

conclusion on 4 ch transmitter finespec by using a 4 ch switch and y tap into channel 2 you can use the buttons on and off on transmitter functions eg work light , 2nd machine gun , laser pointer gun also main machine gun , and Leaving one more input if you so wish to do .

Can you take a Tamiya tank display and make a full operating rc tank?Doing this to save money up front and build display first then convert.Just build a Tangen Tiger 1 early.

Making the static version a running version wouldn't be for the faint of heart unless you end up buying most of the Tamiya parts which would get expensive. Adapting HL parts is an option, but would take some planning and modeling skills. Either way you may end up with a tank that costs almost as much as the full option version. Personally if I wanted a Tamiya Abrams I would buy the full option version. I'm not a fan of the Tamiya electronics so selling them could help offset the cost of the full option kit.

I am building the same tank. Now I have built many models in my lifetime and this part has me stumped. I am trying to build up the recoil unit and no matter how I try, I do not understand how part #15 and the little recoil switch go in place one on top of the other, or do I leave part # 15 out.
please help

To make it easier for us to answer your questions, what step(s) in the manual are you on for us to reference?
