... Agreed: most tankers didn't trust it, and some even went as far as disconnecting it. The stabilization was also elevation-only, which meant they had to run...
Hello R/C tankers! According to Karen at the AAF Tank Museum in Danville, VA, there were 500 spectators in attendance for the 1/16th scale R/C battles last ...
I agree 100%! I do not understand for a second why they didn't include this "extra special, high detail" barrel in the first place? Doggone, that strikes me a...
Looks like the only difference is the 'thermal jacket' sleeve over most of the barrel, probably for reducing infrared emmision during firing. This could easily...
Chris, I want to convert the HVSS suspension on my 1/16th Sherman. Do you make conversion parts for VVSS that operate? And do you make the narrow tracks to go...
I noticed that the Danville R/C battleday spawned discussion of the multiple hits issue around here. Well, for the sake of a healthy "pro vs. con" debate,...
Hi Dana, I spoke with Axel some weeks ago about a complete VVSS conversion kit. It is not a problem to produce, but I think that the price will be a problem. ...
Speaking of VVS suspensions on the Sherman, has anyone looked into the possibility of motorizing and RCing the 1/18 scale Sherman from 21st Century Toys. It's...
Incidentally, Hen Long a Chinese toy company, will be releasing a 1/16th scale Tiger I that shoots 6mm BBs soon. They already have a line of 1/24th scale BB...
Dana, I sent your previous report and photos straight through to my contact at the MOTAT museum in Auckland to whet their appetite for our planned outdoor...
Neville, I'm glad you brought this up. I'm seeing this here and there, and the reasons for it are usually the individual feels that they won't give their...
Jake, OK, you are not the typical participant -- your skills and talent for this are above average. The extent of stick time surely plays some small part. So...
I join you on this Rich. Contestants should be eliminated from the field if they disrupt any of the signals to combatants that a tank appears only to be a...
Hmmm, *somebody* needs to lay off the espresso. :-) I do not see this hobby sinking to the LCD. There are those who have attempted tweaks to their tanks to...
... ha , that's a good one.... seams like since last battleday this has bean a hot issue.... but it has it's reasons.. we discovered a few not properly working...
Rich, I haven't gone back to read what I wrote, but I think that I wrote agrees with you. I know that it doesn't really help the individual who takes all the...
Willy,Tony, and all, The answers to the problems are pretty easy and most are in place already. You have to understand with everything that is a process it has...
Ok, Based on the conversations with Willy, Tony. Jake, and everyone else, I want to share some of my observations regarding the TBU and LED. Kevin really hit...
I'll second everything Aaron said, except for the point about leaving off the flash. And for two reasons. First, I'm not the ubertanker Jake is--yet--so I...
I mounted my led in the mantlet of the Tiger II. It's in the coaxial mg's position. The hole has to be bored out a little larger, but it looks ok. The...
Hi everyone, Since I kind of started this whole line of debate, I must put in my 2 cents worth now. A totally "stealth" tank sucks!! Taking the flash unit out...
My two cents worth. The emitter on the Pershing is also barrel mounted as in the Sherman. In "On The Battlefront" issue #3 you can see how I mounted my emitter...
One last thing on the lED and whee you mount it. The reasons for painiting the tube Black is to cut down on the glare from any type of outside or inside light...
Any one out there in the Buffalo Area? any fledgling groups? I may have someone you would be interested in talking to. WW II vet that worked on tanks. Let me...
Good day, Reading a lot about the after action reports coming in from the Danville front. Does anyone have the manual for the Battle System online,showing the ...
... Hi Lynn, that's a great idea. It can't hurt to try! I have talked to lots of guys who feel we need some new kits, especially ones that lend themselves to...
There is no wiring diagram or any really usefull (electronics) information in with the battle system. I've thought about the sensors on the side with set back...
Tell them the Kiwis would like the early Sherman with vertical suspension ,and lose the spare French decals,maybe some for one of the other allies ,the Kiwis...
