Guber Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I demand a video of this beauty in motion. I DEMAND IT! :devil: For the Emperor, etc. ok ... here you are ... : . This is incredible. Though once this is done the only way you'll be able to top it is to make an RC Titan. :verymad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobPanda Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 thanks for all the kind an motivating comments. unf my cams batt. is empty. but i can tel you what i have done in the last 2 hours. i decided two additional motors + gear. one to rotate the multimelta-gunner on top. and the other one to move the assaultcanons up and down. today i only managed to finish the first part of it. so now, the motor for the gunner is installed, the gear adjusted and also installed. . this was a lot of tricky work to do. i decided to place everything directly under the roofsection. but unf the motor was too big. so i turned the motor and cut a big whole in the side-section to provide enough space to mount the motor. tomorrow i'll post some pics and mybe also a small vid to demonstrate what i mean. .

son of nocturne Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 A worm gear could help with elevating and depressing the cannons maybe? Brilliant project cannot wait to see the next installment! Ooh and what did MFV do? post seems fine to me? S.O.N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Ooh and what did MFV do? He posted a swear word, which, I believe, is against reformed rules (check the News & Updates section). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiplash Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 not trying to create an argument but i don't find it offensive or consider it a swear word and im a kid anyway bodpanda how fast do you think this will go once finished and will you be able to adjust the spee or will it be 1 speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-relk Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Dude, this is bloody awesome, seriously. Way toooooooo cool.

Brother Plasticard Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Dude, this is bloody awesome, seriously. Way toooooooo cool. Now I want a fully moving armoured company. :D the word "bloody" is in no way offensive. especially if your an australian (like me) or a pom (who share the same sort of humour as us ozzies) Quite! Honestly, the censors do not block "bloody", else it would show up as a <deleted by the inquisition> message. :o Back on topic...Bobpanda, you never cease to amaze me! And this is no exception ;) I can't wait to see the whole thing finished. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Fingered Villain Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Wow, just wow, I'm not going to say anything, but wow. Hoping to see some more updates on this one, it looks like from previous pics the hull was kind of warped from stretching over the mechanics? something some plasticard couldn't solve I'm sure.

ShotgunFacelift Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Is this a project that requires some serious soldering and RC building experience? I'm more than jealous, and would greatly enjoy the opportunity to chase the cat around with an LR. Just to ask: - Is this project using cannibalized RC components from Store Bought models? - Or has it been done primarily with individual components from a high end RC store? - Have you built the circuit boards yourself? Sorry for so many questions, I just want to know the relative complexity of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for so many questions, I just want to know the relative complexity of it. ok ... so here are the answers : - yes it is. i used this heng long kit from torro as "organ donor". : http://cgi.ebay.at/NEUESTER-HENG-LONG-TANK...id=p3286.c0.m14 . - no. reason is, that i just wanted to do it quick and easy. as i wanted NOT to use any compoent not being part of either the LR-kit, or the kit from above, to keep it as cheap as possible for anyone planing to do the same. . - :tu: ..... the only thing you'll need to do i a lot of cutting, milling and adjusting. you'll face some realz tricky challenges. but to be honest, now that you can see that 1. it can be done and 2. how it has to be done in this thread, i think it shouldn't be that much of a problem any more. ... my next tank will hopefuly become a much more impressive one. i'm planing a baneblade with maybe metaltracks and spring-mounted chainwheels and a lot more rc-features than this LR you can see here. maybe i'll even manage to install a 6mm softaircanon into the oringinal canon. ;) - let's see. - but back to topic. i think the greatest hing about this project is, that almost everzone could copy only using the two kits mentioned above. therefore the overall material costs should not be higher than 80 - 85 euros ... .

Shortsonfire79 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Looking awesome..like it did in post 1 =-D You might want to cover the tracks before you spray paint it, because, 1. When you start painting it, unless you spray the whole track, it'll look funny once it starts moving, and theres a part of the track thats painted, and another thats still black. 2, because it might crack (the paint) once it starts moving.

Dark Sensei Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Spirit of Hobbes, leave this corpse at once !!! That's HUGE ! Once painted, it'll be just so great to see. Do suspension work (even on a basic mode) or the suspesion array are only here for aesthetic ? Grats again for this great work. DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
