Make Your Own 1/35 Scale R/C Tank From A Kid's Toy!

I took Tamiya's Mk.IV motorized tank and made it a full motion r/c for a third of the cost of the one you can buy. I used a Tamiya gearbox and a cheap children's robot toy!
Kits -
WW1 British tank Mk.IV Male (w/single motor) by Tamiya $65
Twin-motor gearbox by Tamiya $15
Lunar explorer set by ThinkGizmos $25

Great job, fun to watch, I think the men who had to drive the real ones wished it was this fast!

[@mattockmodels]

I agree! 🤣Thanks for watching!

[@user-rs3jn1sg9z]

Honestly considering buying the little toy robot and making my own RC tank with cardboard

[@mattockmodels]

[@dioramadevil]

Back with a fantastic video 🎉 - and I love the Mark V tank. I am building Meng's TS-020 atm 👍

[@mattockmodels]

That's awesome! Is that with the full interior!? Might have to try that one at some point.

[@Eekhorn]

@@mattockmodels it is and at the moment I am with the instructions in front of me planning the next stage. This is the first time doing interior and I must say that it's much more complicated when you need to plan, build and paint in stages 😅 (instead of just building and afterwards painting everything). The kit is fantastic - everything fits together beautifully.

@@Eekhorn Gotta love interiors, tons of work and no one see em' 😂
