Tamiya's Radio Control Tank Series

[srad]

OK, I'll break the ice here.

This is the category I am currently most interested in and these are my 1/16 scale rc tanks. I started building in this scale about 5 years ago after seeing and getting hooked on them at TamiyaCon. It takes me 6 to 18 months to build – setup one of these models and it is good "0ff & 0n" fun too.

Included is the full option Pz4 J, Jagdpanther, Panther G, M-26 Pershing, Tiger IE (see the post below) and the Sherman(105) HVSS.

All built for backyard combat using the Tamiya Battle Unit. I have adapted various figures to fit over the TBU receiver plug for when the tank is on display.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
I am debating what will be my next build. I just completed the Tiger I.

Hi Dan,

I debated "what next" for almost a year and just got the Tamiya KV-1.

Looks like a really nice kit and a BIG tank.

Can't wait to get started on the giant KV-1!

But during the summer I modified a Sherman kit to represent a M36B1 90mm Tank Destroyer with a TBU
for a friend in Texas.

Leopard 2A6 1/16 RC Tank
I am almost finished with my build. I had to contact customer service for a gear; my kit came with one wrong gear for the turret gearbox.

I was hoping to ask about the transmission. I have re looked the setup/build but it seems that the forward and reverse work very smoothly, the pivot seems to work but not as freely. Anyone have an idea?
