RC Tanks Australia Forum

Hey guys, well this is my second tank build and i am glad i bought Tamiya this time round

Here are the list of parts that i bought for this bad boy

Schumo driveshaft bearing support
Schumo front track guides
Schumo turret support bearings
Schumo brass lifting arm
Henntec idler adjuster
Ball bearings
Impact metal tracks
Daryl's gearbox brace

I am liking the look of the KT's without some pf their track gaurds. They seem to look more bad ass

Thanks all for the helpful advice. You cool cats know who you are Here are the pics. I am pretty much 95% finished '8

I originally was going to go camo on this mofo's ass but then i thought i would try something different What do you guys think?

Some more pics

Awesome looking King Tiger, I have just ordered teh hang long updated metal version, can't wait to get my hands on it and detail and repaint. Do you know if any members on the Gold Coast?

Hi Stevo,

Looks fantastic. I'm a subscriber of your youtube channel as well and I've all of your 1/16 tanks.

You've inspired me to get into my first RC 1/16 King Tiger tank. I did buy a relatively cheap, out dated Tamiya 56004 model as an impulse. I'm sort of regretting this as I would like to have all of the functions as seen in the later releases from Tamiya.

Having said this, I'm certain there are upgrades I could look into to obtain the upgrades I would like to see:

1. Dual motor with gear reduction for more realistic drive
2. Sounds for the motor and the guns
3. Upgrade to as many metal parts - don't know where I can get these
4. Recoil function for the main gun

Would you be in a position to provide me with your advise on this. I have not started on the build as yet, still unopened.

Many thanks

Hi Guys

I too have just bought a Tamiya 1/16 KT it is on it's way and it was a very good price compared to other shop in Australia.

I want to ad these parts:

Metal Gearbox Brace by Daryl turner, it seems everybody is using this
HennTec idler kit, or the Schumo Idler drums and wheels KT0014
Schumo ZUH Machine gun MG34
Schumo KT0019 Bosch headlight
Schumo tow shackles KT0013
Schumo Hex screws Schumo gear downs maybe?
Beire sound module from Germany maybe
Welsh Dragon Models Torro exhaust as I want smoke
Stella Models Muzzle Brake, this is cheap at $8.00

Any comments welcome

Regards

Anthony james

Well I guess that i won't bother with this forum anymore as the number of posts here was to many!!

Maybe try posting about another build I think a zillion and 1 Tamiya KT posts do tend not to generate much interest anymore.

Cheers
