Nitroholic Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 AJ .... got a question about your 2.4Ghz upgrade set. How easy was it to swap over? I can't help wondering if my Spektrum DX6i could be used to drive one of these things. I have a spare 6 channel RX unit. Don;t know how many channels the gear you installed has or how it all hooks up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Looks awesome AJ, just a quick hint about the waterslide decals, (i use a lot of the tricksy buggers in one of my other hobbies) if the finish of your paint is in the slightest bit rough the decals won't move/slide and you'll need to be super precise with the placement. A quick coat of gloss before you use them gives you a bit of movement allowing you to get them spot on then let 'em dry and matt top coat away.

Don;t know how many channels the gear you installed has or how it all hooks up. Ive read about a interface you can get so you can hook up aftermarket radios to the RX18 MFU, the system ive got does away with the complete stock mfu, but the interface only gets rid of the 27mhz reciever board, the stock system uses 6 channels ill go find a link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 That's brilliant AJ .... I'd much rather use a stock RX and a decent 2.4Ghz TX The unit costs around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddyt Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 so how easy are these to pull apart and is there anything i should be careful with??? got a new speaker to put in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Mine opens up with just 6 screws come up through the bottom of the hull, just be careful as there is 2 lots of wires coming from the MFU to the upper hull, once open these are easily disconnected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Just ordered my 'christmas present' .... Getting a Panzer III Also getting some 4:1 metal gearboxes for it and some closed pin metal tracks and metal sprocket/idler too Will give me something to tinker with on Christmas day. Want to do a whole load of modding to this thing too.... starting with a conversion to a Panzer III N with short-barelled 75mm gun, plus stand off armour ( schurtzen ) and a whole load of detailing. Might even have a go at making a metal lower hull too. Some sheet ally and low temperature welding rods should do it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Sounds awesome, ive also been looking a Panzer III, ive seen a complete metal builders kit for around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 It's quite a bit smaller than the Tiger II, but it's quite well modelled. I figured I would start small and work up I want to see how far I can take it! I fancy trying out the conversion to use my DX6, and from what I can gather, there is a recoil BB system being built which hopefully will be on sale soon. Looks very cool in operation!

Feedtheinferno Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 At this pace we are going to need a tank section up the top of the forum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 hmm...that's a thought. Could see the scope for a military sub section of the forum. Would cover RC tanks, half tracks, trucks etc. If there is enough interest, then I can see it being worthwhile. somewhere for build tips, tricks of the trade and to show off projects. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
