One for MichaelC!!! :-)

Saw that on your channel ! I still think it is better if everyone just attack. It turn into a one on one battle. Don't think I needed 3 lives. 

Martin and Victor also flamed out before getting to me so that would have added two more oppositions.

Going through the strange gremlins that plagued some of my more reliable tanks.

Sturmtiger somehow one of the cables to the receiver had got loose and underneath another one so any movement shut the receiver down, Tiger 1 has a faulty on off switch power cable which any hard movement will lower the power or completely shut it down. Fortunately not the board. KV-2 needs a total teardown of the turret and wiring management 

A shot of Guderian  who definitely would not have been amused at my shoddy maintenance    

Yes, Heinz Wilhelm looks very upset!

whos Maus nice

That Maus battle was fun to watch even after my tank gremlins continued. Hope we can do a repeat of it.

Thanks Mike for the JT camo compliment. You had already done the the heavy lifting with the cutting off of the fenders. Not sure if I could have done it. I did so much sanding on the original base it was then primed and then shaded.

I did a build log on RCTW which explains some of the insane steps involved in painting these tanks because I refuse to buy/use an airbrush

I agree with MichaelC one of your best!

Thanks Dean. High praise indeed coming from you

See what you miss when you don't come out ! It is my annual take my Maus out day, but this time it is Maus #2, Another Maus from the Cults3D print this time. Way better than my other one which is all resin cast. I guess I now official own as many Maus as the Germans did in WWII.

Just to show you the details of these 3D tanks, the recoil unit actually allow two different recoils, one for the main gun and one for the secondary 75mm. Now only if I can find a board that will support two separate independent recoil/sound and flash.

Thanks for bringing it out Mike, hope it wasn't damaged too badly!

No not at all. I knew one of the track was a bit tight and it was binding to the first bogie. I have since adjusted the idler tension (which this model has but not on all of the Cults design) and just replace the suspension arm. They also provide some common spare parts with each tank like suspension arms or torsion bar etc.

I also trim down every single track pins yesterday. Took me half a day.

This one will be able to battle consistently which is what I am after. Should be fun.

It will run better at the next meet.
