Hi everyone
thought I’d post about me upcoming build. I’m a 30 year RC veteran with tons of car/boat/heli crashes under my belt.
Bought into the tank world. My new tracked tyke is a used, rescued HL 1/16 Abrams, with some sort of drive wheel issue. It has the cool double rubber tracks and all that jazz Saved over 200$ I was going to fully disassemble, so it’s perfect.
Be patient, first time with this forum. Goal is super scale early 90’’s Desert storm.
build list for now
HL Abrams (used, issue TBD)
machined sealed gearbox’s
2 Holmes hobbies 33t 380 sized motors for ultimate in smooth control
metal axle bearings
upgraded speaker
1/16 trumpeter kit for details/molds
3d printed chassis support
addition custom chassis support as needed for longevity
Awesome scale goodies
goals
light on chassis/ heavy down low . Scale speed, and utmost longevity. Some sort of moisture protect control for PNW sky water issues.
to do later
Clark board
tamiya IR
barrel stabilization
