Default M60 upgrades

I now offer several upgrades for the TD M60 tanks.

A new drop in ready servo recoil with scale gun barrel kit for the TD M60A1/A3 tank. It includes gun barrel of your choice, M60a1 profile or M60a3 heat shielded, the recoil unit and the servo. Installation is made easy as all the measuring and alignment is pre set up for you all you need to do is a slight modification to your tank that my video will walk you through. The A3 barrel is pictured below.

The drop in replacement kit retails for $90
Note this is not applicable for the IDF M60.
Both gun barrels are available separately as well at $45ea
The universal recoil unit fits henglong and other tanks and is $37


I also offer a pair of ball bearings for the main gun pivots if your tank did not have them included as seen in the photo below.
Both of my tanks were missing these pivot bushings and without them the gun slops side to side and can fall off the elevation unit arm when you hit a hard bump. My pair of ball bearings takes the place of the nylon bushings if you have them or if you don’t, and creates a nice firm installation $8 a pair.

I have a small supply of plastic track for the m60s both the chevron and. Hexagonal pad type since we determined the tanks run better with the plastic track $45 ea

Spot light kit for the M60 $20.
see my website for more info guys. RC Tank Products

I have one of the A3 barrels going into my TD M60A3 to IDF 6B "Blazer" conversion. It is a beautifully executed reproduction and even has "scale" rifling. The combination of high end resin and internal brass sleeve make it super rugged and as clean as an injection molded part.

Have you thought about replacing the plastic shaft with a brass stand off?

Joining the line up of detail parts I produce for the M60 tanks are Duffel bags and Alice packs.
Live scanned my own real pieces and converted to 3d files printed for me by my friends at JVM3D Concepts.
4 / $16 each type.

These will be on my site and eBay soon.

Check out my site with the other details I make. Your browser may give you an unsecured site warning but that’s because my host company has me on a legacy server without a valid certificate any more. You can’t purchase direct off my site, it’s just a showcase and a way to contact me so it’s ok, waive the warning and visit my website. Or pay a higher price for the parts on eBay. Your choice.

Best duffel bags I've seen. Alice packs are decent also. Got any green eggs and ham in that Mermite?
