Hi Thanks for the info. but will try both as cant fit gearing and servo in all kits and trying to make a 1 stop shop system.
Can you let me know which submarine you mentioned because there are a few on ebay over here. I like your home build gearboxes in smaller models and trying to make similar for Pz 2 also trying to modify static track sdkfz 251 using other tracks...not easy ahhhhh
@preston51511 Did that years ago. Forgot exactly how I did it. Making it robust for running might mean sacrificing its perfect look. If look is absolutely not important, than just use a nail as axle & glue the hub on the nail's head.
The left and right movement of the rc car switches connections either side of a motor which are both set to 3V DC. When you activae the left or right control it causes the volyage on one side to go to 0V DC which flicks a slider and the wheels either left or right. Trying to work out how to get each motor in the tank to switch left and right?
Nice new adddition. Still fighting with toy rc circuit, steering was via motor and switching plus voltage to ground on either side to flip wheels on car.
too speed!!!!!!

I use whatever surplus parts I have in hand. I have parts from Walmart's RC sub, Trumpeter's sub , radio shack's etc.
I can't even tell you for sure what surplus parts I have inside because I have built so many.

How do you slow servo down to give slower turret turning speed? Voltage divider on supply?
tankman35 2 years ago
Adding a gear is the sure way. Reducing voltage or current might be working when you test it, but might refuse to work after you paint it , etc.

Lol i just recently finished making a non-rc model of this tank and it is a beutiful model

Ho do you get you drive wheels to attach to the drive shafts?
tankman35 3 years ago
Epoxy glue. However make SURE it is at the dead centre because once it dries up, there is no way to correct the mis-alignment.

See my comment listed on your Panzer IV to explain my rc circuit.

I do not understand what is ' switching plus voltage to ground on either side'.
ppplll000999 3 years ago
Also, all my conversions involve with non-proportional cheap circuits. Proportional circuits might need different approach & alterations.

@ppplll000999 now how did you make the wheels rotate (not talking about where the twin moter gearbox is)
