RE: Asiatam Gearbox in a Matorro King Tiger
Phil, have you seen this plug-in gearbox set? Similar as yours, but with gearbox and output shaft inverted, and an adapter plate to screw it onto the existing points.

RE: Tank Modellbau track tension adjustors for Heng Long KV1
They fit perfectly on the metal idlers. The metal accessories for the KV-1 are a bit odd, most of them seem to be made to fit only with metal upgrades. Metal sprocket only works with metal tracks, too.

RE: The Shermans are in at Mato
If both the wheels of each bogie just rotate without any vertical displacement, the suspension is utterly useless. A vertical degree of freedom was due.

RE: T-34 Idler Wheel adjuster
Nice piece of hardware. I wonder why nobody builds some kind of screw-in metal gearboxes for the T-34. I have just seen that Matorro is now selling 5:1 gearboxes ready made to replace the plastic ones into their King Tiger.

RE: About the Xion Puma
That would be too simple, buying before seeing. Their previous works have been not flawless, though interesting, for the price they sold them. Lots of added work needed, lots of money in expensive parts to make them run, etc. Many people have been disappointed by their other kits, and were waiting to see if the new ones would have been an improvement in quality for money. If they do not want to risk for business, well, maybe they don't deserve to play the game.

PzKpfw KV-1B 756(r) Build
This is the build of a PzKpfw KV-1B 756(r) from a friend of mine (work is still in progress). He's not good at English, so I will illustrate his build. For those who are asking 'what the **** is this', in short is a KV-1 with cast turret, re-armed with a 7,5 KwK L/43, and with other changes and addition such as the commander cupola taken from a PzIV. Plus some of his own additions, because he's an artist and he has to put his own touch in everything he works on. This is the only existing picture of this very unique captured tank. [image]http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/svenhassel/kv1-beute-pzkw7561-1.jpg[/image] And here is some pictures of the build. They are pretty self-explaining, however they deal with: - modifications to upper hull - heavy battle damage on side fenders - modification of heng long turret to cast type one, with german cupola - new mantlet and barrel [image]http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/svenhassel/KV1008-1.jpg[/image] [image]http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/svenhassel/KV1006-1.jpg[/image] [image]http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/svenhassel/KV11B003.jpg[/image] [image]http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/svenhassel/KV11B004.jpg[/image] [image]http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/svenhassel/KV11B006.jpg[/image] [image]http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/svenhassel/KV11B011.jpg[/image] [image]http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/svenhassel/KV11B017-1.jpg[/image] [image]http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/svenhassel/KV11B019.jpg[/image] [image]http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/svenhassel/KV11B014.jpg[/image] [image]http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/svenhassel/KV11B025.jpg[/image] [image]http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/svenhassel/KV11B031.jpg[/image] [image]http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/svenhassel/KV11B036.jpg[/image] [image]http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/svenhassel/KV11B040.jpg[/image]

RE: RCCommand Battle Systems
I have received my RCC unit some weeks ago, the newer one. During testing at the desk, with just mainboard, receiver board and speaker connected it worked perfectly, but when I connected the turret on my KV-1, the sound card started behaving strange. The 'fire' and 'destroyed' sound swapped, the MG sound didn't play correctly anymore, the 'fire' sound only worked when using the K button, while leaving the wire to the gun motor led to the card to go idle. Now I have disconnected both the MG and gun sound (up leftstick) and I can only use the 'fire' (linked to K button), hit, destroyed and march (pushbutton) sounds. I have written everything to Bill but got no answer whatsoever, which is leaving me a bit disappointed. EDIT: Bill just read this post and answered promptly he will send a replacement. It seems my emails didn't reach him.

RE: Question abt HL KV-1 Gearbox
My metal sprocket came together with a standard short shaft for the swap, meaning one with brass bushing. The 3:1 asiatam gearboxes use ball bearings at both ends of the shaft, but I think the standard low profile gearboxes of the stug lay on brass bushings, therefore a swap is pretty easy to carry on.

RE: Question abt HL KV-1 Gearbox
It should not fit, since the Kv-1 has the longer output shaft combined with the plastic (stock) sprockets. If you mount the metal sprocket, you need the shorter shaft instead, and the Stug gearboxes should fit. But you also need the metal tracks (my metal sprocked doesn't fit the plastic tracks, I guess it's made for the metal ones).

RE: 290 th Century Panther
I did the same conversion before the availability of the heng long JP, using tamiya sprocket and tracks. I put an airsoft gun with UV led into the turret, to use the tracer bullets. Also managed to fit two little railway smoke generators into the exhausts until one of them almost melt the pipes.

RE: Vstank IR Emitter Frequency?
[quote]ORIGINAL: Tankhobby I'm working on one that will count the number of hits (selectable from 1 to 9) then activate a relay, it will also have two additional relays, one for sound and one for another device, maybe a smoke unit like you have? With the extra relays and other devices it would need a larger power source, the 9 volt battery would not be sufficient. I guess it should detect the Tamiya signal to be more selective also? [/quote] I powered everything using a standard heng long 7.2V 2000 mAh battery pack. The sound card (the same used in Darkith's DBC) was powered by the same source, but with a 5v regulator circuit in between. The ideas you have are interesting, especially the hits counter. The double relays system is a great addition. Why not offering the chance of a standard tamiya connector to power the board? Like many others, I have plenty of useless 1700 mAh NiCd and 2000 mAh NiMh power packs from my heng longs (every battery pack has been replaced with a 4A+ one). About the tamiya signal, I dont' think it would be a plus for everyone. Maybe as an option, but that would make the board useless for Vstank, torro and heng long owners.
