1:44 destroy the insurgent!!!

[Dongskie2]

@blueluny : Hehehe I was thinking DOG ALIENS LOL

[stingersteelers1]

Hey thanks alot also one more thing were would I be able to find this kind of bb's

[stingersteelers1]

What kind of bb's does it use the size and weight of them cause I have the same one as you do

[Dongskie2]

@stingersteelers1 : it uses the standard 6mm airsoft bb, i use the .12g for this tak, the .2g is just to heavy for the small airsoft gearbox of th tank

[MrGetsomebaby]

Anyone seen battle of the bulge? dude you should right bargain basement on the side of the model lol.

[174295]

has anyone got the smoke to work? Sure could use some advice on how to make it happen.

[Catzrule1995]

what camera do you have on that tank?

[bladejunkee]

cool, thought that was all, but how well would you say the suspension works?

[Dongskie2]

@bladejunkee : out of the box the suspension ran fine with me, but if you have time and patience, work on it and eliminate the slop by shimming the gaps and grease the bogey wheel axles, spring is a little stiff so if you can find a slightly softer substitute, you'll see it run a lot smoother..

[bladejunkee]

@Dongskie2 cool, thanks, got a few more questions. what is the fps of the turret? how many pellets can fit in it at once without forcing? does it ever have trouble reloading? what does "superspin" refer to?

[Dongskie2]

@bladejunkee: It shoots about 130-150 fps using .12g bb sucks mate!

Superspin is when you run the tracks in opposite directions, tank spins like a top lol

[bladejunkee]

@Dongskie2 So how far does it shoot on average?

[Dongskie2]

@bladejunkee: well some factors affect the performance of the airsoft, first of all is the quality of the bb, second is the small volume of air in the cylinder, third is the air leak between the barrel and the rubber o-ring fourth is the lack of an effective hop system and lastly is the excessive length of tha barrel.

- So it only goes and shoot good as far as 10feet... beyond that the bb drops like a bomb... lol. I suggest you replace it with the gearbox system from VS Tanks

[bladejunkee]

@Dongskie2 Wow, that's too bad, any advice to fix it up without spending a lot of money, like pvc to replace the cylinder, and a rubber coated metal plunger? something easy to machine?

[Dongskie2]

@bladejunkee: well it depends in your ability, like you say without spending a lot of money and easy to make, sounds like you have the material resources to customize your own parts? If and so then yeah why not make your own parts to modify your gearbox. You'll just have to weigh your options if buying a complete set of airsoft gearbox will be cheaper than customizing your own and or vice versa :)

Good luck mate :)

[Dongskie2]

@bladejunkee: if airsoft is legal in your area, then I suggest get a cheap electric pistol airsoft gun and cannibalize the main gearbox and cylinder system, it's been my project that has been pending since due to lack of time for this hobby lol

[bladejunkee]

@Dongskie2 cool, thanks for all your help.

[craziehobo15]

is the barrel made of metal

[Dongskie2]

@craziehobo15 : plastic outer, aluminum inner barrel for the airsoft

[vincent50042]

[vincent50042]

@THR33SIXX3MPYR You serious!?

[THR33SIXX3MPYR]

@vincent50042 Yessir!

[bladejunkee]

so where did you get it? how much?

[Dongskie2]

@bladejunkee : i bought it at a local toy store here in Manila, Philippines...

[Usg223]

@Dongskie2 hey, where in the phillipines did u get it? wat store and any near sto. nino? and is there any upgrades there?

[Dongskie2]

@Usg223 : I don't know where Sto. Nino is, but go to Divisoria in 168 Mall, 2nd floor. He is the only store that sells RC Toys, shop name is 168-Heli. Good luck finding it!

[Usg223]

@Dongskie2 oh, its near paranaque

[bladejunkee]

Hey one more thing, does it have proportional controls?

[Dongskie2]

@bladejunkee: Only the throttle has proportional controls, the turret rotation and turret elevation are not proportional.

[bladejunkee]

is it made by Heng Long? does it have a metal gearbox?

[Dongskie2]

@bladejunkee: Yes it is made by Heng Long

No not the metal gearbox yet, still the stock plastic ones..

Thanks for watching!

[bladejunkee]

@Dongskie2 Yeah, does if have metal treads? how much did you get it for? where did you get?

[MrJustin804]

[FOOP17]

nice video its good with the dogs

[Dongskie2]

@FOOP17 : Thanks mate! the dogs were off-scaled lol

[blingblabo]

oh ok

[siamyuth]

Hello Dongskie2, Now I'm upgrading my bulldog,I 'll install

3:1 metal gearboxes but I'm considering which motors to be used be,Graupner sp.400 or Tamiya sp.380. Which one more torquey? Which one more speedy?

Please kindly suggest. Thank you.

[blingblabo]

shoot it with bb u noob :P lol

[siamyuth]

Hello blingblabo, I 'm fixing my bulldog bb barrel for the next coup if it come!!! Believe it or not that

half of the bulldogs in the last coup were not loaded for firings just came out for show only.

[Dongskie2]

Who will they shoot just in case?

[siamyuth]

Thank you for your suggestion,

Nearby my house is a millitary camp of which the walker bulldogs are there,they are still in use.

[Dongskie2]

That's interesting mate!! You can take Photos of the Bulldog!

[siamyuth]

Hi Dongskie2,

Thank you, and yes I 'm a bangkokian.

I do accept the speed reduction but how is her scale speed now? I 've found from

your clip it is quite nice speed.

[Dongskie2]

Actually my M41A3 is running on Graupner 400 motors, I wanted it to be fast just like the real M41A3 that runs about 65kph max..

I still suggest you install a pair of Graupner 400's when you purchase the reduction gears, that way you can still have the top speed if you want.

Good luck!

[siamyuth]

Hello Dongskie2,

Would you please advise me in case I want to make a stronger bulldog(able to spin on high grass) but still has a good speed what are needed things to do?

New boards,motors,3:1metal gearboxes, ventilation fan,3400Mah batt...etc?

Or just simply change only the gearboxes

is enough?

[Dongskie2]

HI SiamYuth,

I assume you're from Bangkok? Anyway it sounds like you want a torquey gear settings? Remember you cannot have both speed and torque in one gearbox, one has to sacrifice the other, so its either speed you get? or torque!

But sometimes a torquey gearbox can be compensated by a fast spinning motor or high RPM motor.

....cont

[Paintballboy56]

is it semi auto or does it shoot really slow

[jinksy2468]

the tank shoots 1 bb a second

[Bigfurry1975]

Cool,I have the same one(made by Heng Long) I'm thinking of bringing mine out of mothballs and putting Mabuchi FS-390PH motors in it, if they fit. they are really torquey, so it will climb over every thing. Yours looks really fast with the 380PH motors(Graupner 400's) are they 7.2volt or 6v.

[Dongskie2]

I got the Speed 400's 7.2v, I thought of getting the 6V but itmight burn the main board

[masteriansun]

i've read that it will run for about 60 minutes on a full charge, is that right?

[Achiliesguy21]

can you shoot bbs?

[Dongskie2]

Yes it does, but somehow I misaligned the barrel with the assembly and it doesn't shoot as far as it was when it was new :(

[Matray2]

hehe, great video! :D

[Dongskie2]

thanks mate!

[NoBrainerNoN]

lmao - That dog is kind of BIG compared to 1:16 tank.

Looks cool man.

[kiwitwo]

Do I hear metal tracks on that hard surface -

[Dongskie2]

No sir not yet... I thought of that too when I played back the video...
