Fire them up Dale!

They look great. It's funny once you get the motors in along with the batteries, these beasts really start showing their true weight potential.

I hope my late Tiger looks as tidy as yours.

All the best

Tim

I will be running my tiger tommorow for the first time car't wait . One thing I would like to know is what do you guys do when the battery go flat and your tiger is a long way from home ?? Do you carry spare batterys and change them over in the field or can you tell when they are getting low and try and make it home . Also is it best to turn my tiger for the first time with one stick forward and one stick backwards . Then check track tension after each pass. Dale.

Hello Dale

Tiger is looking nice.I carry a set of spare batteries just in case also on the tracks i leave one track pin loose and links either side painted white.So if the unfortunate happens and it does you can remove the pin and take the track off and so makeing the tank mobile again so it can be pulled to your car/Van.

Good idea Lee . Thanks for the tips . How about turning ? Do you have all of your tanks set up with left and right sticks on trasmitter for forward revese and turning ? I car't get my head around how some modellers use one stick . Dale
