Fantastic!

Watching a CNC machine creating parts has a high level of excitement!

A few more pictures. Very happy with how the exhaust vents have come out.

The prototype VOLUTE SPRINGS for the Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension (HVSS) have finally arrived.
Few minor changes needed, but otherwise looking good and working well.

The pinnacle of the combined metal and mechanical arts is depicted here. More please.

A ruler in inches and centimeters placed next to the models in the photographs would make for a nice addition.

No pictures to share right now, but a quick update:
We are planning on offering the following two additional options for the Sherman (and hopefully future models):
1. Servo driven machine gun and LED flash (this will require a channel on the receiver to work)
2. Front and rear lights operated by an RC switch. (this will require a channel on the receiver to work)

With these two additions, you will need an extra 2 channels on your radio system - so you will need a total of 7 channels. As I am not aware of any 7 channel radio, you will probably need to get an 8 channel one.

Our recommended radio of choice going forwards will be the Taranis x9d plus 2019

Hi all, Could the front and rear lights be turned on and off by the Benedini.
The TBS Mini has this functionality built in and as such i dont think would require an extra RC channel.
I am playing with these settings at the moment for my Panzer 3.

Cheers

Oh good! More options to buy. Twist my arm. Ow! Ow! That’s enough! Alright already, you talked me into it!

Umm.... Knowledge Base anyone? The X9D is a great radio for our models but the scope for screwing up OpenTx is considerable unless there's some simple guidance.
