The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

After two and a half years of modelling time, and saving for my motion pack I have a runner . Everthing worked like a swiss clock . No funny noises , No tracks riding up on the sprockets , turns where good ,all the road wheel modifications that I did work great as all my road wheels ran the right way . The wheel spacers did not touch each other . I also ran her over some bumps to test the suspension . The motors and speed controllers are very smooth . The best thing is it was fun !! . Tonight I will test the turret turn then the next day elevation . Lew was first to run his tiger downunder then Andy now me . So we just need Rick , Dave and Adrian to fire up there machines ... Then we need to get together for a group run . Dale

Hello Dale

Fantastic well done.You see, Being patient does pay off in the long run.Just because i build the Tanks quick i still put the hours in as the Tiger still works out at 120 hrs for a basic build never mind that you have put aftermarket upgrades on. Now its in the paint work have fun.

Hey Dale


A great day for Armortek Australia, did you get the sound upgrade also ?

My Late Tiger
well I am not there I have run the left track on my late Tiger still need to do the right side, The left took almost 5 hours to stop it from riding up the sprocket looks to me that the rear idler sits too far out.

Hi Alvin

It sounds like you need to check your assembly and track tension. We are very confident that the idler position is correct. Are you running the single track with the tank jacked up off the ground? If so, it is best to wait until you have both sides done and get some weight on the tracks before making any changes.

Hope this helps

Thanks Mark

Yes running it elevated one side, I will install the second and add the componets then check it.
