Very pleased so far. I think that the Elmod RC replacement, which will bind to my Spektrum transmitter will improve it. This is where I got the truck:

Since my last review I've seen this thing in action off road. It REALLY needs a working front diff and some weight on the front end to aid steering. The tracks need to be more aggressive, I've them slip while trying to navigate mild terrain getting stuck in grass.

Yes it would benefit from further mods.

Hello! Great militar vehicle 👏 👌 I thinking to by one. I need to know one thing: can you use a lipo battery in it? Congrats my friends. Great video💪

Nice detail! Looks like the front suspension is fairly nonexistent on some operation videos. What's your view? Live your Sherman tank! Do you give the Tamiya a thumbs up over other brands? I will be getting a Sherman just not sure what brand yet! I will follow along with your mods! Good work!

Torro themselves say either use AAs or 9.6v with jst plug.

Hi, Good review! I was impressed with model for the price, however there one thing that I found not right, the gun needs a figure, the two supplied with the model do not fit.

Not sure. I had to scour the internet and eventually import (from Italy I think). Very nice model when upgraded. 😀👍

Yes thats nice,I am doing with mine the same,but I have to tell you they are cheap quality if you buy one think as a display,not so durable like other tanks.

@RCModders 6 жыл бұрын

+hassan ardati once the speaker and main controller board were replaced I was pretty happy with it - for what it is. I agree it is not as durable as some of the tanks - but even these need modifying with metal tracks, decent ESC, better motors and ear boxes in my experience...... and as far as I can tell there is nothing else out like it for an affordable price.

Hi There,again,I am finding it difficult to get a battery so I thought I will open the hull and work with connections to get the two wires + and - out and connect to a battery,but I couldnt open the hull,already one gun broke,so could you kindly tell me how?Thanks and best regards

@RCModders 6 жыл бұрын

+hassan ardati hi I think it is mainly covered in the videos, it was a while ago - so I cannot remember everything. Mainly it's about removing the front cab first. Make sure you get all of the screws out - especially ones under or behind the seats. I think I only had to carefully break a few glue joints - bottom back sides of the front cab and the fake radio in the rear I think. With batteries I ended up sticking with rechargeable NiMh AA cells to keep the voltage down to 6v. 7.2 Lipo was too much for everything.

Excuse me Can this type of lithium battery be used on it? EFLB0998 1000mAh 3S 11.1V 20C LiPo

@RCModders 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you for watching the video. You should definitely not use use a 3s lipo or even a 2s lipo - the voltage is too high. You should only use the size and number of cells in the original battery box. 🙂👍

Panther f hulls were used in Berlin in 45. Around 25 of them. Fitted with the regular panther g late turret. There is a book from panzer wrecks, panzers in Berlin that has several pictures of them.

There don't seem to be any on Ebay or Amazon at the moment. They are always very popular . You like to might try this site:www.rctankcommand.com/home.html. Let me know how you get on, I'm sure that others would be interested.
