.AJ. Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Very nice, but would have preferred a Challenger 2 lol I hate to think how much this will be in Edited November 18, 2014 by .AJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Rather rapid... agreed on price point, one for true enthusiasts only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 My Leopard is just as quick as that and the operation of these high end tanks is incredible, I didn't relise how so until I got a cheaper Taigen/Torro tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 My Panther isn't that rapid, however, being ww2, I'll put that down to realistic, scale, period speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GorillaZilla Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Is the system keeping the turret stable based on helicopter heading lock gyros? I'd imagine one in the turret and another affixed to the inside of the gun mantle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Yea a gyro, my Leopard 2A6 has one for gun elevation but not rotation, hopefully they will do an upgrade kit for the Leopard because I would buy it straight away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorillaZilla Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Driver looks a miserable bugger! Aye... However, for all we know that might just be a neutral face of seriousness for a Japanese man. In a state of focused concentration due to the demanding task of keeping over 45 tons of armoured war machine rolling in a safe and controlled manner through and around challenging obstacles....

Have a link to your tank's assembly manual?, and some pics or your own machine... How does the turret rotation work? Where theres a will theres a way with hobby grade RC :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 It's far beyond my skills, the insides and workings of the Tamiya DMD are just crazy, last thing I wanna do is damage the DMD http://www.wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/157415/ They do have a lifetime warranty as long as they are not tampered with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 This is really adding fuel to the fire when i'm wanting a tank lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Now thats a lush piece of military hardware. check out that 50 cal , the ammobox and round chute both sit in the correct place ( unlike others i seen ) and the scale look cocking handle even if its the hook shape and not the straight bar old style. i bet this cost a fortune, i like the target lock feature clever use of headlocking compass maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the watchman Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Woah, thats stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 hmmm they should do an FPD version ( first person driver ), and a secondary gunnery camera aww its a shame tamiya tanks cost so much both them and the large trucks are so cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

53HRA Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 This is the newest kit release in the 1/16 R/C tank series. It recreates the Japanese Type 10 Tank, which is also available as a 1/35 scale model kit. The Type 10, of course, is the high-tech modern addition to the Japan Ground Self Defense Force (JGSDF), and comes loaded with state-of-the-art features such as a newly-designed 120mm smooth-bore main gun, and modular armor. It was built to a relatively small and lightweight design for suitability of use in the mountainous Japanese archipelago, and offers excellent speed and maneuverability. Perhaps most importantly, it was also designed to be compatible with the modern C4I communications network system. Deployment started in 2012 and continues apace as the Type 10 looks set to be a key element of Japanese ground defense armor.
