Default Tiger in the mud....

Hi all
just wanted to share some pictures of my Tiger, after it had been driving about an hour in mud, dirt and water. It took me nearly two hours to clean the stuff

Yeah, that was a lot of fun. The driving took place in a real tank area. where I drove in the full scale tracks the full size Leopards A3 made

No I have not yet waterproofed it, but that is some of the project that I hope the winter period can change I use metal gear, sprockets and belts on both my tigers. Just bought the www.el-mod.de electronics and a new sender, and as I have been reading about this modification, I am going to have a lot of fun.

Looks like my tiger before i had to give it a bath when moving back from the UK. Had to soak the tracks for 3 hours in hot water just to get the muck and clay loose enough to scrub off with stiff brush.
