Seraphim008 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Anyone here into RC tanks? I'm building a Tamiya 1/16th scale Leopard 2 A6 now, on my very limited spare time, and I gotta say its an awesome kit. Big package, heavy kit, lots of options too...some 3rd party as well, like metal tracks and metal idler/roadwheels. Main gun stabilizer and IR Battle system (for use against other Tamiya RC-tanks with same option) is also available as Tamiya options. The kit has incredible detailing, and the parts are quite tough, hull is mostly ABS I think. Gearbox is detailed, and have two 540-type electric motors, one for turning and for forward/reverse. The DMD-unit inside means you don't have to worry about servos; everything is driven by the DMD-unit. The one servo you need is included with the kit. Also, there is a loudspeaker aboard that get fed original engine sound, turret movement sounds etc etc from the DMD-unit. Big and quite expensive for a kit, not really classified as a toy for your average 10-year old kid. Btw, check videos... http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/56020leopard/index.htm Of course there are a few other bigger (and waaaay more expensive) options to this one.... Would love to have one of these as well http://www.mark-1-tank.co.uk/abrams.html#M1A2Abrams 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
