Twin 540 powered King Tiger Tank

I've decided to sell off one of my vintage king tigers with a twin 540 motor conversion.



The conversion was carried out using a couple of TT-01 spur gears, and a couple of custom made aluminium bulkheads

The front torsion springs under the gearbox have been replaced with heavy duty items to cope with the extra weight.

The tank is fitted with twin MTronics ECO27 ESCs, capable of running on voltages up to 9.6V (8 cells).

There is also a V tail mixer fitted between the ESCs so that the it drives like a buggy (1 stick for throttle, another for steering). It is also possible to do pivot turns with it.



The tank has the original turret rotator fitted along with the servo controlled switch for rotating left and right.

There is a servo controlled camera mount fitted in the commands cupola which is a direct for a GoPro camera case, which can be rotated left and right. (This means you can rotate the camera one way and the turret the other).

I have also made some additional metalwork to help with the layout of the internals to make it easy to operate the tank.

I shall be retaining the RX fitted in the tank.



This is a unique tank in that it has two 540 size motors powering it, one for each track with no clutches involved.



If you are interested in this tank please bear in mind that you will need to collect it from the Salisbury area, or by arrangement from the Abergavenny area in South Wales.



I am looking for £280 for the tank.



PS The weathering is genuine Wiltshire mud, and will wash off with water if it is not to your taste. :)
