RC Tanks Australia Forum

Thanks Admin,
Will shortly be posting pics, vids and mods on my M1A2.

Had undergone TIGER programme (480 motors) to propel this 10 kg tank to ~ 50 kph. SEP is planned (El Mod, 12 V), and be implemented soon. Weight due to 4 x 2000mAH powerpack, 2 x 1.8 units of metal Pershing tracks and metal-plastic gearbox with 480 motors.

Currently, this is how it is for now.

Latest video is as below:

Cheers!

Love that turbine sound!
It looks great!

Have you put some thought about weathering this beast?

Thanks Kamaz,

Yes, will do weather this once i'm satisfied with the electronics and tracks...for now it performs well. However, El Mod and/or SGS needs to be contemplated on this. Kenny Kong tracks or nod my met Pershing with rubber pads? El mod or SGS? Its already ~ 50 kph scale, and I do need to get to 60. Probably El Mod + 12 V or SGS (not the 3 kg limit?). Any advice and or reference material?

Well about reference there is allways http://m1a1.primeportal.net/
Our Admin knows a bit more about eletronics.
Rubber padded tracks work fine on concrete and asphalt, but I don´t think they´ll do any change on soft terrain (dirt/sand/gravel). Nevertheless Abrams is more ´on road´ than ´off road´ tank (with it´s 70Tons) and runs pretty fast on roads.
