Hi John, I think you should upload some pics that show your problems to a file hoster and put the links here to the forum that we can see your specific difficulties. This is very easy to do and would help a lot. Similarly you could make a short video, upload it to youtube or so and give us the link....

Hi all,

I am not sure that hot soldering flux in the slide bearing of the motor is a good thing......

I think legal use of a blank firer may be different from country to country. In Germany e.g. it is not allowed to adapt a blank firer to a barrel, because this would be an illegal alteration of this 'weapon'. But there exists an electric firing machine gun with 6 mm blank cartridges (originally desi...

Hi John,

I don't know which kind of blank firer was used in this Tiger, but you can see that there is la little risk when using.......

Once we organized a 'combined arms meeting' with rolling tanks and flying warbirds at our model airfield. So we had a lot of fun looking at a Spit attacking a King TIger!

If you are using steel track links, you don't have any problem with weathering. Simply put them into the garden for a month or so, and the weathering is complete.......

Hello Mark, very nice work, indeed. But are you sure that the labelling is correct? In German 20 tons would be named as '20 Tonnen'. All pics I found about this jack, in German named '20 Tonnen - Stockwinde', look like this: http://www.fahrzeuge-der-wehrmacht.de/Bilder/Stahlwinde_20t_Ch_01-1.jpg htt...

Well, not everybody will be amused to see his model being crushed by such a monster...........

Hi Florian, I suppose that is an interference problem. Probably Benedini uses a class D amplifier which produces some electrical interferences to the servo. Try a ferrite ring together with the servo cable. The DC-DC-converter is out of suspicion if an seperate akku for the servo shows the same resu...

I tried to mark the possible point of damage just before final breaking down: https://abload.de/img/vlcsnap-2020-02-19-22sdjos.jpg https://abload.de/img/vlcsnap-2020-02-19-22lwkmk.jpg https://abload.de/img/vlcsnap-2020-02-19-226cjay.jpg https://abload.de/img/vlcsnap-2020-02-19-22a1k28.jpg

Hi Christoffer, I wish you a long life of your track links, because I don't like alcoholic drinks! :mrgreen: ************ Hi guys, please keep in mind that in Hausen about 10 to 20 AT models are rolling for hours. In summary this is a lot of operations in a short time. I tried to find out under whic...

These models have very powerful motors, so are quite capable of breaking track links if the running gear is clogged up with earth, stones or sand. Much better to drive to the conditions than to expect the tank to chew through everything it encounters. Adrian. I would think that sand (also if wet) i...

Well, in the 10 years that Hausen Tank Meeting exists, there was no year without a break of an Armortek track link, though there are mown meadows only, but some ascents. Armortek track links are built very prototypical and true to scale, but are made of aluminium instead of steel. Along with the str...

Hi Marco, first of all: wonderful; a tank that may roll in heavy grounds, like tanks have to do that! :mrgreen: I tried to solve the problem of breaking tracks under load at my Jagdpanther with Vincent's steel tracks, because I have best experiences with Olaf's steel tracks on Königstiger and Jagdti...
