Armortek

Good morning Brian....Winter is coming.....

Good morning Gents and the Ladies. I would like to sell my Rolls Royce Armoured Car. Part funding for my next build, :roll: The full build can be viewed in the Rolls Royce section. Please note; I have customised some parts. No radio or receiver. The power/sound/batteries etc. modules are included, a...

Good morning Mark, I have removed the top plate and engine covers on my Rolls, for a clearer view. From my perspective I cannot see how you improve the door opening, it is restricted by the part EPO520. It may be possible if Tony tries adjusting the servo travel. I moved part EPO522 on my servo arm,...

Hello Tony, yes, I would guess that if you need the doors to open further then extend the part EPO522 with a similar metal strip. Maybe opening the doors further means less protection for the radiator. Try a short extension on EPO522 and see how it looks . Mick

Hello Tony, a quick check of the door mechanism. My part number EPO522 is set on the second 'hole' down on the servo arm. At the moment this is the only area I can see that offers more movement. There does not appear to be much difference between my doors and yours. Mick

Good morning Mark, I have only just picked up on your problem, I should read all the posts, anyway, reference the 'doors' issue, your set up appears to be the same as mine. I will run my Rolls Royce model this morning and check the doors. The only point I would make is to check the 'servo travel'. A...

Hello Adrian, reference your post, just to say I had a problem with my Grant and the new 'red' boxes. As advised by your good self I removed one red power cable into the receiver because the receiver was taking 'two' 5v supplies. This solved my issue. Mick

Thank you John, the X51 is a comfortable build, lots of free time over the past three months. I also purchased a set of plans from Marine Modelling, most helpful. Florian, the hulls are crafted by OTW Design, they also supplied the 'dive' module. They have a website. The beauty of tanks, no bath req...

Thank you Phil and other 'likes'. Ok, here is the answer in the photograph. For the 'flagstaff'' I used a spare track pin out of my Panther build CH0502. Just the right length, diameter, and a flat top. Watching all the excellent builds and enjoying the mixed weather. Hopefully here in Wales from Mo...

Finally reached the painting and weathering. The X51 build has saved my sanity during 'lockdown' , more or less, that and a reviving interest in my garden railway. Hobbies, hobbies, hobbies, where would we be without them. Any road up, Armortek has an interest in the midget submarine, anyone spot th...

Hello Andy, I may have missed something here...if you have the new 'red' modules, the recoil is limited by the amount of servo arm movement....Mick

Good morning hearties, just to say I am not idling my time, rather between 'caring' I am ensconced in my 'drydock'. While I await the next production from Armortek. I have had this model for about eighteen months lurking beneath the waves, ready to pounce and stir my imagination once again. Not goin...

Hello Tony, accepting all that has been said, I was able to dry/push fit all my tyres, using the 'back of a spoon' as a lever, on my Rolls Royce. Just saying.... ..mick

Hello Andy, I have this Spektrum TX/RX setup. If it helps have a look at my M3 Grant build. Towards the end of the build I have a photograph showing my motion pack layout. It may be worth a look....I use two stick motor control....keep at it, it will come together...Mick

Thank you for your thoughts Chris and good morning everyone. With the present situation and restrictions I decided to weather the Grant. It was not on my 'to do' list. I was satisfied with the Grant, as is, and planned to take the Panther, in her new paint, to a number of 'shows', now cancelled. At ...
