That is a little strange. If the vendor is a hobbyist he doesn't have to pay (or claim!) any VAT. If the vendor is a business man he should know how to avoid his domestic VAT.

My 2 King Tigers and the Jagdtiger are all equipped with Olaf's steel track links, without any issues till now. Also the wearout of the drive train is not too big. Only the Panther / Jagdpanther doesn't work with its steel track links, due to the design of the road wheels (shape and rubber).

Hi Peter,

then please never use steel track links! Mine leave marks with their chevrons, even on cobblestones.......

Hello Peter,

nice show room; indeed! But do the models no damage to the floor when moving them? Well, aluminium track links are not as rough as my steel track links, but they also may scratch the floor I think.

Hi Liam,

sorry, some illness prevented me to see that wonderful pics till now......

Simply marvellous!

For charging of two 12 V batteries that are wired in line it is not necessary to use switches or circuit breakers. I use simple banana sockets and plugs to connect the charger, first at one 12 V battery and then at the other. For that I use 3 sockets at 0 V, 12 V and 24 V. https://abload.de/img/2018...

Well done, indeed!

There exists a real firing machine gun in 1/6 scale (with blank cartridges, of course), which acts not better than this proof of concept.

There are a few RC systems especially made for functional models like tanks, e.g. the Brixl and the so called "Blauzahn". Both have a lot of channels (up to 256) and are rather expensive. An airplane RC system is also a good solution for a 'normal' tank, because it has enough function rang...

Hi Sascha,

welcome in the AT Forum! A Jagdtiger is a nice model; I know........

Hi Mark,

I don't know that exactly. But they have Panthers and a Jagdpanther in the museum and should know what they write.....

Hi Marco,

I shot some pics in Sinsheim:

Very nice!

I love to see our tanks in action, at least in the wilderness!

Hello guys, thank you for liking my post. But will nobody post impressions of his own tank driving events? All over the world there must be dozens of unofficial meetings I guess...... :? I would like to see pics like this; a snapshot taken from my onboard cam in Emu: https://abload.de/img/emu-1d5k7b...

In most of the receivers the power links (plus and minus) are connected over all plugs for the servos. Therefore it is not necessary to connect a special power line when one of the connected accessories has a BEC (battery elimiting circuit)

The original's teeth were also chamfered; therefore it cannot be bad to chamfer the teeth.

A real heavy track will move the tank before tensing when the tank rolls forward. A lightweigt track will tense at first and then move the tank.
