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

I will hopefully post some interesting tit bits as we work out what's wrong with this very nice Tiger 2

Hi Phil,

On first glimpse I`d say turret, track gards and rear deck are missing....
Probably a "Monday Vehicle"?

Cheers
Peter

Lol Peter, that's the owner just sending the minimum to keep the shipping costs down.

And I thought that´s the secret behind Kian´s spare part finds...

My diagnosis, which is purely amateur I may add, as I'm still practicing, could it be that awful condition where the owner looses control momentarily..... turrets

Well she needs a new radio system so one is on order, the driving light had been damaged in transit, this had crushed the led wires. Also she needs a good tidy up to include a few more self adhesive cable ties to keep the wiring nice and secure.

I loathe seeing IEC connectors used in these tanks. One day someone is going to buy one second hand and plug a mains lead into it

Adrian.

Yeah but they would only do it once Adrian, and they would have to be a complete dick especially if it's labelled as 24v only!

Isn't it very strange to mount such a connector for other purposes than mains connection? Initially I thought that this is the connection for an integrated charging device......

24 ? Oh, I thought it said 240 ...

Adrian.

You armchair builders do like to put my work down. Try building and posting something positive for a change.

Hi Phil,

okay, but then you should use banana jacks for the mains connection in future to differentiate them from each other....

All done Bryan. Thanks for the business my friend .

I found this old video from 2018 of 105 during proving trials, it's amazing how smooth and powerful an Armortek Tiger 2 can be if set up correctly.

Nice Video
Nice restore.

Later Tim
