Default Tamiya 1/35

Anybody got one?
I was wondering what the motor control is, is it single speed and far too quick (as all smaller tanks seem to be) or proportional?

Yes, I got two - Tiger I & II. The Kingtiger is to be seen [link=http://www.myvideo.de/watch/199788]here[/link].

The control is single speed, but it's not to fast. Currently I'm working on an IR-Prop-Control for the little tanks ... [8D]

Nice weekend,

Nice one! Ive had the tiger 1 for about 3 months but havnt touched it . Didnt want to build it and find out it was stupidly quick(I've got a thing about scale speeds), so i guess it will be built now, thanks, just what i wanted.

I managed to fit the electrics from a 1/35 tiger into Tamiya's 1/35 T-55. This looks far better! I did have a very small smoke unit with a home made fan as a blower but it heated the rear deck too much. Buy a set of Model Kasten metal tracks for a more realistic look (and slows the tank to boot).

The one reason i didn't build it is cos of the "glue together" rubber tracks.
Had a quick search but cannot find a uk dealer for Modelkasten, any ideas?

Hi

Friul are the metal ones. Modelkasten are plastic and not really strong enough for RC running.


Hannants have them at www.hannants.co.uk

I bought a couple of sets from a chap who sells on ebay a while back - panther_models_ltd He is very reliable and has most sets available.

cheers

Hey Realzardoz,

Nice video. Where did you get the Panzermarsch? Is that from Hammer? I have some, but that one I don't and would like to get some more.
