Florian StuG build

[florian rudolf]

Now its going on with the interior.
First its going on with the battery. Amazing the size between 10 to 15Ah. The 10Ah is from the Famo because not enough space for bigger one.
I have in the StuG a two deck system for the electronic, so enough space for the big battery and a two speaker box for sound.

Hello Florian!
Have you also tested the drive with the 10Ah battery? I would be interested in whether it is sufficient, apart of course from the possible driving time.

Hi Michael,

No, I haven't tested it. It would certainly work.
My FAMO weighs about 120kg and runs with the 10Ah battery for about 30 minutes.
With the FAMO, I built the battery so, that I can change it quickly. With the StuG it is permanently installed and cannot be changed quickly. So I decided on a stronger one.

Cheers
Florian

Happy day that first test drive! That gun shot is impressive - no looking down the barrel!
Wow.

Hi Florian,

Did you use the Armortek blankfire instead of the recoil system in the stug,
or did you use a system made by yourself?
Nice video

Best regards Yves

Thanks for the compliments
@Yves I have an own construction for about 11 shoots serie. Unfortunatly that does'nt allows thr recoil construction. - Maybe its possible with lots of work, but you can not connect the shoot time with the recoil. You would have to trigger the recoil by yourself

Cheers Florian

Now I finished the Comanders Hatch and start final painting.

[Björn Johansson]

Yes I ecco that , just love it

[florian rudolf]

Did some work at the gun mechanics. You need a strong servo but it works well.

The StuG is nearly finished now.
In time I work at the finishing paint and weathering.
Trying a real instant rust kit. The pictures are not that good as it shows real. I thing the rust is nearly perfect.
