Very good driving but I don't think tha tthe real tank had the gun lock capability - I could be wrong though ??? I am sure this tank will be a great performer, just right from a weight and size point of view.

Nice video Mark . The PZIII looks the goods well done . It was nice to see Gill in the back ground doing the hard sell again Go Gill !!. Mark can you give us a report of your thoughts of how it runs , as this is a complete new model compeared to the others . Plus if you have time , can we have a photo of inside the model to show how all the gear is stowed . Have you had the panzer III over some logs to test the suspension ..? Dale
P.S Mark what was going on with the kicking of the left sprocket or was it lost track pins ...

Hi Dale,
The kicking was to put the tyres back on as they were not glued. Mark only pu the motors, esc's, sound and wired it all up in 3 hours before he left to go to Pickering. Considering the lack of time Mark has had this running it was a dream to see. No photo's of the inside as it still needs tidying up a bit.
Thanks Antony

Thanks for the heads up on the tyres Antony . It's a great looking model . I will wait until mark has it all tidy up inside . It will be interesting to see where all the parts go . With this model there are no pannier floors to put the parts onto . It's just a big box shape hull ... Dale

Hi Dale,
I'm sure Mark told me on Saturday that there is a floor with the Panzer III, but correct me if I misunderstood . The layout Mark had was the 2 ESC's were between the motors at the front on their side. Behind at the back were the batteries in front of the smoker. There seemed to be plenty of room which surprised me .
