I know which camo scheme I would like to use it's just I don't know which method to use to apply it.

Vince

Loving it. That camo will look great.

Hi Michael Can't help much as I am relatively new to R/C but I feel your frustration. I suspect that the reason you are not getting any replies from other members is that this is a new system and hardly anybody has any experience in using it. From what I can understand Motor Control A is used for th...

Thanks Bob.

Now for my favorite part - the Camo paint!

Yesterday I started the day playing around with the Tiger going through all the R/C functions to make sure everything still worked.

Today, with nothing else to do, I finalised the position of the Arduino recoil box and also the turret wiring sub-loom. Even put the leds in the barrel. Managed to fin...

More work on the muzzle brake is stalled for now. I need to source a piece of tooling which I don't have. A couple of local telephone calls basically confirmed that I need to get it from abroad. :roll: So played around with the elevation and recoil. The painted barrel with the stepped diameter seems...

Thanks Brian. Nearly there. Yesterday started work on the muzzle brake. Added a piece at the back of the central baffle to make it look like the real thing. Finished it today. I thought I would have to make this thing a couple of times but was lucky and got it right on the first attempt. Tiger 655.J...

Thanks Phil. Just trying to emulate your build.

And yes, a good customer support has become imperative in this day and age when one is dealing with customers from all over the world.

Congratulations Youngjae on assembling your Chieftan. It looks impressive.

Vince

That looks just right John.
