M60 Tanks coming soon. But not from Heng Long

[deepdiver8055]

Been wanting an M60! glad to see this.

I went through his Facebook posts. In one, he mentioned he'd be making a Churchill next. He seems very ambitious. I wouldn't expect to see it for a while though. That's a unique tank to model, will take a long development I imagine.

Inkor just released his 3D printer STL files for a Churchill on Cults3D. DKLM RC also has one so if he's going to build it, he is going to have to price it and detail it well enough to sell.

Ooohhh M60 Pattons! I wonder if he'll sell an M88 ARV based on the lower hulls. I wouldn't say no to a Patton in my collection but I'd REALLY love the M88A1 built on the Patton hull.

Having to glue accessories parts on 1/16 RC tanks is the norm for all manufacturers. It's not just a TD thing.

Yes but this was the first time everything had to be glued to keep them in place HL just needed to keep from losing them still I really like this tank recommend highly

I have 2 HL from 2005 and 3 more in the last 2 years. Regular plastic cement does not work on HL. I use SA super glue only. That's the only way to avoid loosing small parts on a HL tank.

Rubber cement, RTV, and even ABS cement from plastruct work great for glueing the parts on tanks.
Personally, CA or super glue, is the worst glue to use as it’s brittle and has absolutely no sheer strength at all. I refer the plastruct glue myself because it melts the parts together like building a plastic model.
if you think you might want to make changes later, the rtv is a great product. It’s black gasket maker for automobiles.

That is what I use too. Plastruct plastiweld for any thing that is to be permanent and a synthetic rubber cement for things I may take apart later and dont want the plastic damaged.

[tank_me]

Plastruct Plastiweld in the white bottle is pretty good stuff. I also use Tamiya Thin and it works on some items. If nothing works then it goes to the Weld-On number 4 (MEK) and that also works on PETG for my 3D printed tanks. Just be really careful with MEK as it is very toxic stuff.

It ugly in a good way kinda like the F-4 Phantom.

I actually like the F4 phantom. Like I said ugly is subjective. Failure is a different story. It does actually look like a sci-fi warhammer tank.

Only 13 miles ever run in that tank in that YouTube video - unbelievable. Another "Bradley".

I had a Starship and Phantom...like them both as a kid. I think the Starship would be a good city fighter with the short barrel.

With "Flechette" rounds I'd agree.

For IR battling that short barrel is a huge plus in right terrain.
