Hi Stian velkommen til forumet

Norway !!! great country , been there over more then 10 times (vår sykkelklubb for Ringerike Grand Prix)

Hyggelig (????) å høre noe fra rc tank-entusiaster fra Norge

Hilsener Wilco

Let's move on. I got this KT second hand. I'm the third owner, but the kit has been well taken care off. I thought about doing a complete respray , but the looks of it has grown on me, so I desided to keep the look , and just 'make it my own'. with some bits and bobs.

Upgrade parts it has is:
Schumo idler + axel kit
schumo engine grill set

Hei Stian

Tar av det godt å hils Norge en tank commander på vårt forum
Kongen se Tiger på bildet det vel framye glede på forumet ønsket og skriving på engelsk er absolutt ikke noe problem.

Grtz. Richard

Thank you Wilco and Richard

Ok. I sat down and thought about the look I wanted. I like the bare look without the fenders, but I wanted to have some of them on, I like that even better. it makes it look wider and mean.

So I thought about , since it's late in the war and supply's are somewhat thin, fenders from other KT and parts almot with only primer on.

Then I added a line of primer under the fenders that were gone.

Then I thought it needed a black wash.

And more rust and streak's. You can argue if a KT ever got so beaten up that it started to rust, probably not, but I think it looks good. I like the look of a well used tank

But what is a tread without VIDEO

I got the maxx gearboxes for gear reduction. But I did a poor job on grinding down the outgoing axel on the gearbox so I have to take it easy when powerturning.

Here is a before and after video.

And here is another one in HD (remember to swich over to HD)
A bit hard to film wih a dslr and manually focus while driving.

Enjoy

Stian ser ryddig (or do your call/name it pent ?)
Smart idé å bruke (brukne ) restene til fendere.

Video afther looks much bedre i use the reduction from impact

Fra hvilken plass du kommer i Norge Stian, er det og en tank klubb

Here a movie from our Battleground http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDjt05URsY8

I live in Drammen city, about 40 min. from Oslo. Tank scene in Norway is not big, just a hardcore gang sitting in front of the computers sharing work in progress pictures Some rc truck and work machine entusiast's also have tanks, but there is no scene like you and the US have with battle arenas. I had the leo 2a6 5 years ago, but sold it since I was alone, then I got the HL Tiger some years ago, but sold that to. But now, I'm not selling.This time it's for good.
Next I want a JP but it's a shame that there is no lower hull for the JP and Panther like the other HL tanks have.


Thanks for the nice comment's ( clean looking, = ryddig (tidy) same meaning different word in english)

What impact reduction do you use ? Complete TU's ore just some drop in gears in the tamiya TU's ?

nice battle ground you have

I wonder if anybody has any info on the KT on 9,00 minut's in this video:
build tread ore more photos.
