Dean was gracious enough to offer one his recent acquisition to me so here it is....... A Tamiya Tiger I which I have never owned. Always thought about it when Big Mike is selling his and now finally got one pre-build. It was missing some small stuff (one of the smoke cannister and one headlight). Found a replacement cannister and Ed was kind enough to send me a KT headlight. I added the S-mine launchers. Yes, S-mine launchers !

LOL. Looks nice Mike.
Does it work like the real early version Tiger and the barrel can knock off the corner mounted headlights?

Yup. Not the S mine launchers though. Just the headlights.

I've just finished my IR battler Tiger 1 build. Just the tools and tow cables to add and the weathering. Could you if possible post an image of the inner hull with everything in place? Considering the size of the tank I found it a nightmare to try and get the wires and everything to fit and the Tamiya manual diagram is next to useless. The YouTube vids I saw just blow right past that step or they are using aftermarket stuff which fits a lot nicer. I don't want to look at the mess again until I have to recharge the batteries Very Happy

As you know the Tamiya Tiger I does not have an upper hull removal option so everything has to squeeze thru the turret but here are some pictures of it empty, with a small lipo and a regular NiMH size battery. All will fit fine. As you can also see my wires are a dog's breakfast also.

Thanks for those images. So it's not just me as a newb. I'll clean up as much as I can with the zip ties and get the battery connectors into position under the turret opening and then just screw the top hull down. With 2 5000mah NiMH in there it must give at least 90 minutes of runtime with resin tracks. The tank I want to try and convert into my real IR battler is a Taigen metal airsoft Panther G. I figure with no recoil in the turret and ditching the smoker I should have a ton of room so it will just be me trying to figure out how an IBU2U board with a FlySky i6 with the Taigen wiring if it ever arrives at my door

Crap sorry I forgot some of the Tamiya's (including my Tiger I) does not come with a Y adapter for the DMD and the MF unit so you need two batteries ! I DIYed a Tamiya Y adapter (didn't have a spare one) for this so I needed one battery, Lipo or NiMH. 

That would help. You are correct when I first got this tank there was two old NiMH stacked in there and it was tight as a drum.
