New motion pack in a 2005 Tiger?

[ChrisWahl]

Has anybody installed the new motion packs into an older build? If so what is involved in the process.
I bought my early Tiger in 2005 without the motion packs thinking I would add later. Well here it is almost 20 years later and I’m attempted to pick up the build. I think pick up is the wrong word. There isn’t much I can pick up on this tank.
Thanks

You will have to remove the sprockets and final drive casings to fit the motor mounts, as I don't think they were provided with the kit back then.
Other than that it should all fit in the same as with a current Tiger kit.

There are various mods needed to improve the running, such as replacing the cast swing arms with CNC machined ones and removing the extra step on the final drive housing.

My kit is a series 3 of the early Tiger. Only the hull is assembled. I think the swingarms are cnc. The tracks are the biggest problem at the moment since the track pin holes don’t line up some the pins won’t even go in the tracks. Have about 30 more to do but they are the worst of the lot with non aligned holes.
Is there an adapter motor mount that would fit the old 3 hole hull and the new motors?
