RE: El-Mod & 3:1 Reduction in an HL Tiger

I've used 3-1 gearboxes in my VVSS Sherman and my PZIII. They both have Elmod systems and they run very well. Probably more a scale cross-country speed than a flat-out road speed.

RE: Tamiya recoil upgrade question

I upgraded my HL Panzer 3 to a Tamiya recoil module but I used Elmod electronics to do it. I don't know if you can do the same with the standard HL electronics. I've since replace the Tamiya recoil...

RE: UK tankers bovington meet .. final preps!

Hi Matt

Couldn't log in to the RC TankWarfare forum for some reason.

RE: TEXAS ARMOR EPIC BATTLE SEPT 19th-21st 2008!

Green with envy!

RE: Any interest in a 1/16 Churchill tank ?

I've just been ploughing through my tank books and discovered that the Churchill tracks were 14 in wide. That gives a metric 1/16 scale width of about 21/22mm. I think Tiger 1 and Panther tracks...

RE: Any interest in a 1/16 Churchill tank ?

Count me in for a hull and suspension. Not sure about using Tiger or Panther tracks though. Wouldn't Panzer 3/4 tracks be closer to the correct width?
