Happy Camper
Mr Mailman delivered my HL tanks from Mato today! I am very happy with them. I only opened one which was the S&S Bulldog and the S&S Pershing is for my brother for Christmas. Took 12 days to get here but well worth it. Didnt have time place with it at home so I brought it to work and have been running it up and down the hallways blasting doors and walls. (Its good to be the only one in the building at night). Considering a frontal assualt on the vending machines in the lunch room at 0500. I have read some post here that suggest greasing the gears. What kind of grease and where do I find it? Thanks!
Happy new tank guy

Hi Pantiger, yes it does have lots of power. This is my first tank but it gets up and goes. Havent tried any hills are anything but it goes well on carpet and tile. Great tank!

RE: Happy Camper
they come already greased,
but a cleaning once in a while is welcome.
the best grease(safe on plastics) is tamiya ceramic grease.
personally , i have used vaseline .
while at it ,heat-wrap your engine with 2 liter softdrink stripes of plastic;
so that the grease wont splash the circuit board.

RE: Happy Camper
Thanks for the info and pics Schutzstaffel! I noticed that there are screws on the chassis of the tank and I persume that these seperate the top and lower halfs. Once the half are seperated can the turret be removed? Thanks!

RE: Happy Camper
under my tiger tank,
there are 9 screws under the tank to be remove,do not know how many on the pershing.
unscrew all the lower hull screws,then you can easely
split open "carfully" ,watch for the wires (easy to unweld) take pics of the wires of where they go.
then you can unsrew(3screws) the turret ring to take off the turret.
