if you looked at the E-bay one probably worthwhile if you get it for £60 and drop in the H/long Rx14 boards
so for about £100 you'd have a good KT


Kind regards Rob

Thats correct Rob ive done just that changed it all to HL electronics rx-14 board and put in HL turret drive mech made the turret move faster one thing watch out for the wiring Matorro wired the KT diffrent from HL tanks and also changed there turret male plug from 10 pin to 8 pin just like HL and that is wired diffrent also then HL wackywheelz wiring diagram will help and the one on the turret wiring from blitz also Ionly had to change the blue and yellow wire around on Matorro side for turret direction rotation .

yes the King Tiger i was selling did have a fault with the electrics i did explain that a good heng long replacement would sort the problem out. I personally am not selling anymore King Tigers as the initial batch had poor electrics. mato are bringing out a revised improved version any time now with differernt woodland camo, so i will be stocking these at a fraction of the cost of tank Zone

Hello MilitaryMight RCTankwars.com has been stocking the new woodland camo for a while now and I have the metal upgrades, the electronics are better, but still not as good as Heng Long but they have improved!

Well they are a little different setup then the T-34 probably the same size motor but the gear box is more of a direct drive and a little larger! As far as the robustness for the motors & electronics they have in there they work! Well its a Holiday and I as just informed that I am cooking brunch[X(][>:] [sm=bananahead.gif]

Well it's been awhile since I have posted on my King Tiger, The only thing I did not replace was the rear idler wheels which I find that the axle shafts are hugh compared to the stock size and not enough meat there to hammer the new axle into the hole. My gearbox was replace a few months back and I have been running the crap out of it, opened it up the other day and found two screws had backed completely out that help the box together, so those were tightened up and the 9 gear pinions installed also a few months back and now she has the torque and some speed to match with the new 385 motors(Electronic Goldmine) and the new boards from Phil!

If I do any more updates it would be to the airsoft gun which I am starting to believe is not really needed any more, I rather put a 5mm BB gun Co2 gun then have the crappy
airsoft but then again I just like going around the yard and maybe the park to draw attention to the hobby.

That my fellow tankers is what it's about..Fun and Attention.

I am getting away from the airsoft and see more people looking at the battle tanks when the kids play with the wsn t-34 and tiger then just shooting plastic bb's in the backyard .

Thanks

my kings normally retail at the £110 mark but it all depends on my supplier and the strength of the pound.
I shall be restocking after my holidays

With the way the world is going on anything that shoot's probably not a bad idea[&:]
It's the same here no BB's just re-coil and hopefully soon a battle system or 2

Kind Regards Rob
