[hatakashi1900]

@tarkan700 From a company called "Mark-1 Tank"

[canada349]

wtf do you do ride in it?

[hatakashi1900]

@canada349 Rarely but I did a few times.

[alphamax03]

If you got friends who have the money to buy same scaled WW2 tanks for some combat, it would be quite epic. But then again... there's not much that could scratch a tiger II...

[hatakashi1900]

@alphamax03 YOu're damn right! haha Tiger II rules!! =D

[IWANAROCKYEEEAAAA]

@hatakashi1900 would u imagine if u put explosives in it muahahah!!the people would be like lol tiny piece of KA BOOM!

death*

[hatakashi1900]

@IWANAROCKYEEEAAAA haha tank itself shoots pyros

[jimiorezzoli]

Nice work man!

[49bobbyk]

Just plain cool!

[felson99]

Great model but $8000. I know people value things on a personal level but come on. Christ, you would have to be a major asshole to pay that!

[hatakashi1900]

I am just one major asshole hehehee I even paid more for my 1/4 scale KT

[WaffenSSLegion]

WOW! I'd buy one.

[xmikerinehartx]

how much do these cost?(U.S.)

[hatakashi1900]

This one around US$8000

[xmikerinehartx]

@hatakashi1900 wow...what kinda dumbass would spend 8 grand for a remote control tank

[hatakashi1900]

@xmikerinehartx heeheheh well said mate, dumbass like me and the others =D

[ImGodUFUCK]

looks like 1/64 to me lol

[hatakashi1900]

hehehehehe only if you've seen a 1/64 hehehehe

[lamzan91]

"on reconnaisance" rofl recon with king tiger :D :D

[hatakashi1900]

hehehehe the did towards the end of the war =D

[australianredneck]

Were do you buy these and how much they cost

[hatakashi1900]

Bought it from "Mark-1 Tank" from England and it cost around 5000-6000GBP from new.

[bassettrd]

I didn't think that there were any late model King Tigers in the Ardenne!

[hatakashi1900]

@bassettrd U're quite right hehehehehe

[sinbadvett]

I would love to see a few radio controlled P-51's, P-47's or British Hawker Typhoons come out of the skies and litterly blow up the tank, just like the real thing. I say blow it to bit's, now thats cool.

[hatakashi1900]

I'm sure there were a few around but the bad weather had kept them on the ground =D

[Ixtzalit]

Only one Tiger II at ardenne were destroyed by the enemy, and it was an air attack. The rest was abandoned.

[ImGodUFUCK]

@Ixtzalit abandoned because it was so damaged it couldnt not move and/or shoot

thus destroyed

[Ixtzalit]

@ImGodUFUCK no, abandoned because there was no fuel or it couldnt be repaired because there were no parts. In wasnt damaged thx to enemy, it was damaged because the engine was too weak.

[dntlss]

what the germans had were mini tanks called goliaths, they were packed with tnt, and the operator had a spool that he unraveled that was conected to the tank, with a control box to manouver the tank into position and detonate it,he actually did not have a remote control per se (wireless) it proved a fiasco on D day, im guessing because of all the action going on it wasnt like a person had time to say, pardon me sir while i set this thank here thats gonna blow you up,

[228ANDY]

Cooooooooooooool !!!!

I want this !!!

[bobsteronic]

Wow! Impressive. During the footage where the tank is coming towards the camera head-on, I nearly peed myself; much like any American G.I. may have done when faced with the real thing - during the Ardennes offensive,

[hatakashi1900]

WOW what a compliment from you! Thanks very much!! Glad u like the video.

[MegaLiopleurodon]

@hatakashi1900 - Sir, I'm afraid, your Tank is too

clean. Personally, I like RC tanks, with some mud in the tracks and all over. They look much more authentic with mud and dust on them. And tanks in the Ardennes were verrry dirrrty, as can be seen on Original footage. Cool vid though

[hatakashi1900]

hehehehe as a matter of fact that tank was VERY dirty, check my other videos, it ran through deep mud, snow, water and dog shit.

[hankok87]

cool sound

[KerajaanNasi]

Very nice King Tiger you have. Right now I'm not taking RC tanks as a new hobby. Maybe not just yet.

I'm also kinda stuck. Should I go for WW2 models or modern tank models? The WW2 ones look cool, especially the Tigers, and they bring back so much memory. Seeing a Tiger slowly turning its turret is so demoralizing.

Modern tanks look advanced, and low-based and all (I love the T-90). I can't decide

[hatakashi1900]

U have asked the "wrong" person, I'll always tell u to go for a WWII German tank, especially...KING TIGER!!!

[KerajaanNasi]

cool then I'll take a WW2 German tank then. For a starter, should I look for something bigger than 1:16 scale?

[hatakashi1900]

if your wallet allows u to, yes...go for at least 1/8. If not, 1/16 is a very good starting point.

[TroubleLized]

Great Video! Great Tank! but i think it's missing it's sides 'flaps'.....i mean, the thing that sorta covers the side of the tracks......u know what i mean?

[hatakashi1900]

Thanks for your comment. MUDGUARDS u were referring to. I removed all the mudguards because I personally think a tank looks more battle worn and "scarred"

[USAirborne82]

very good movie! but where have you bought that tank?????

[hatakashi1900]

Thanks for the compliment! I got it from an England based company called Mark-1 Tank =D

[LIANGE1011]

omg this is sooo cool you rock man lol i thought i was real but then i was like woah its not lol this is cool

[hatakashi1900]

Thanks mate I'm glad u like this video!

[xajimas]

potito con cubo pa caca.......

[Playborn]

easy prey for RC partisans :)

[Deutscheland1470]

nope.... took alot to kill the king tiger

[affepaffe97]

how much did it cost?

[hatakashi1900]

Around 5500 GBP

[Konigstiger222]

i want!!!! :D good vid 5* and i agree with "Plataea" its looking pretty darn 1/1 scale!

[Plataea]

Thats amazing, good sound effects....with a little attention to the scenery you'd be hard pressed to tell it was a miniature! well done!

[hatakashi1900]

Thanks for your compliment!! I'm sooooo happy now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[saberdryver]

I just got into rc tanks just bought a vspro tiger 1 airsoft and its a lot of fun its a beautiful static model...but you can drive it and shoot stuff I used to race an associated rc10t and broke alot of shit tanks are slow and you dont break shit...and they still look cool

[hatakashi1900]

You're right, playing with rc tanks is just so much fun!!

[areyouoffit]

can it fire things?

[hatakashi1900]

It fires pyrotechnics, check my other videos for that =D

[capetown99]

Great clip but did the King Tiger carry a fuel barrel on the back like that?

[hatakashi1900]

PROBABLY...only when they were moving to the front line, of course they wouldn't carry these on their backs at the front =D

[gtafan442]

i like my rc monster truck dat dus about 70-80 and sounds like a lawnmower =]

[AnimexGuy]

I'd go to school in this!

[computerguy787]

is this gas powered???????

[hatakashi1900]

No it's powered by 12V battery.  Fitting small petrol engines to rc tanks will make them sound like lawn mowers, which isn't great =D

[skunko144]

nice tank could u tell me the measurements Length Width Height thanks

[hatakashi1900]

This is 1/6 scale...around 1.5m long (inc the gun), 2.3 ft wide and 2.3 ft tall.

[skunko144]

what price range would this tank be in

[hatakashi1900]

Between 3600 - 5500 British pounds.

[mbbotti]

the sound is very good

[BBKLLR]

Excellent video!!!

[lordrip]

Very nice, very real the movie. show!!!!!!

[emokiller3]

Was diesel engines better for the tanks?

[hatakashi1900]

Yes definitely.

[ruger1430]

i know the germans were the first to use diesel engines. but i'm not sure what was in the tiger tank. i think it was gasoline from the kelly's heroes movie they took one captive and said it was leaking gasoline all over the place. so thats just my take.

[hatakashi1900]

You're right, in WWII, almost all German tanks had petrol engines, not diesel. Towards the very end of the war prototypes of Hetzer did have diesel engines in.

[ruger1430]

thanks for the agreement your most kind all night i have been fighting with people to justify my comments  so thamks

[hatakashi1900]

You're most welcome but then it was the Russians who first put diesel engines in their tanks namely T-34

[RideRed255]

Whats the powerplant on that thing its awesome.

[hatakashi1900]

It's powered by 2 x 280w 12V electric motors.

[Haddock1958]

Great work and video.

[hatakashi1900]

Thanks for your support and kind comment.

[chiziebear]

wanker

[Matt446574]

Sorry i was so busy being pissed of at you that i missed a few zeros but to be fair you have just made it worse for yourself. and if you dont give a shit about being insensitive then i don't give a shit about you and i won't be wasting any of my time replying to your self centered bullshit.

[Matt446574]

Dear complete wanker,

Joke or no joke that is an incredibly stupid and insensitive thing to say. You should think about the 1000's of jews that died because of hitler and the years of suffering the blacks have been through. Seriously only a complete prick like yourself would say something as idiotic as that.

Yours sincerly,

Matt (P.s i second what lew7272 said.)

[lew7272]

Perhaps Hitler should have irradicated dipshits who make obnoxious comments.

[blastun]

lol look at that it has a small rifle on the side ahhahahah damn good

[blastun]

damn they are so cool . im sad i didn t have that much money to spend .on them LOL

[idioms1]

looks great nice job good to watch

[goddamit777]

nice tank, great detail

[Meggidd0]

I want this Tank!!!^^

But 3600 ritish pfound its a lot of money. :(

[emsley2]

I think that on the movie Empire of the Sun they used scale p51 Mustangs as they were cheaper to fly/film than real ones. At the scale they were at, one couldn't tell the difference from a set distance. Much the same as this beauty at times. Nice tank and nice video!

[hatakashi1900]

Thanks very much for your info and your support!

[debilinc]

the roar of the tank - how is made ?

sound edited or else ?

[hatakashi1900]

The tank has got a proportional sound module inside.

[kmcgi28]

i might be geting one for my birthday :)

[hatakashi1900]

MUST GET IT!!!

[135anderson]

THAT ROCKS !!!! Awesome filming.

[uulaitai1]

nice hobby

[Demokratie]

Where did you get this?

[hatakashi1900]

PLease read below =D

[Pershingtank]

Where did you get this?

[hatakashi1900]

I got this one from an UK-based company called Mark-1 Tank.

[justsuper9]

my cats like to stalk it, but when it turns around, they run like they've seen the real thing!

[hatakashi1900]

Don't think the catswould want to stalk this one though =P

[justsuper9]

i have a 1:16 RC tiger 1 that has a bb turret, it's pretty fun!

[hatakashi1900]

I have one too!! Nice thing they are!

[dntlss]

love the video man, it looks real,thanks for posting,i just bought one and i should get it tomorrow and just wanted to get an idea of how they run and look,again thanks

[hatakashi1900]

You made a right choice!! Welcome to this rc tank family!! I am looking forward to seeing ur videos!

[grandtheftauto4123]

are the tracks meatle and the body???plz answer!!

[hatakashi1900]

The tracks and wheels are metal, the body is made of GRP (glass fibre)

[grandtheftauto4123]

were do you buy it???

[hatakashi1900]

I got it from a UK-based company called Mark-1 tank.

[grandtheftauto4123]

ok thanks il get the money!!

[viciostereo]

I love the RC tanks! Tamiya's tanks are a lot better!

[hatakashi1900]

But this one isn't a Tamiya tank =D

[3819oli]

this tank could run your tamiya over mate. it would take six tamiya king tigers just to make it the right lenght to this one. 1/16th to 1/6th. you do the math

[mikesndbs]

Stunning! great tank and really good video work! very much like the bit from 1.24 where you see just the top of the tank making its way before it turns towards you!

Nice work Mr Tank Commander :-)

[hatakashi1900]

Thanks for your compliment mate, seen ur videos and they're equally good!!

[TrcDK]

no that wouldn't look good...but i think the tiny soldiers is 1:16...what abaut take a 1.16 tank and those soldiers eh?

[hatakashi1900]

1/16 would be a bit too small and difficult to fiddle with.

[TrcDK]

yer...i can sea what you mean. im not so good to those scale things...du you know those soldiers?

[hatakashi1900]

There are 1/16 scale soldiers for sale out there but they're small and not as flexible as 1/6 scale ones.

[TrcDK]

hey if you put those tiny plastic soldiers you know, and make a stop motien film? that would be nice, dude!

[DrWho123]

This vid made me wanna by my first RC tank. Starting out small, a Heng Long.

[hatakashi1900]

That's a very good start, it took me 6 months to move from 1/16 to 1/6, then another year to 1/4.

[halfpipefreak]

That's the most beautiful rc tank i've ever seen dude nice vid!!!!! 5*

[hatakashi1900]

Thanks very much for ur compliment and thanks for ur support!

[okee9]

Nice, that'd be ideal for a film, it looks very realistic

[hatakashi1900]

Thanks very much for ur compliment cheers.

[michdudeada]

I didn't know in world war 2 they used 1:6 tanks for reconaissance. I thought they used the full sized tanks.

[hatakashi1900]

hehehehe you'll never know =D

[1airplane21]

actaully the germans had little rc mini rc bomb tanks or something to be used on d-day but most broke down and didnt see action

[jcoffin21]

5500 :o Jeeeez I GOTTA START WORKING NOW !!!! *RUNS Great model Btw & nice vid

[hatakashi1900]

Thanks mate, I can assure you this tank is worth every single penny u earn!!

[Ralfiukas]

very cool xD

[fernan2flores]

hahahahaha. very cool

[Mattd166]

where can i order a good R/C tank from? not as expensive but good and well detailed?

[hatakashi1900]

Tamiya rc tanks would be a good option, you can find them from any good model shops. Tamiya do 1/16 scale rc tanks, which includes King Tiger!

[qotsaandsoadfan1]

Thats awesome!, i felt like a jew hiding in the bushes. HAHAHA!.i'm currently building a model sherman 1/8 full funtion.has cost me about 50 bucks so far and already is a rolling model, should be running within a week or so, i just used parts out of unfinished tank models.

[hatakashi1900]

Well done mate!! Post some videos later once your Sherman is finished!!

[Osso1994]

soo schlecht iss der nun auch wida nich hab ers gedacht das wärn echta

[MOLOKAIBO1]

how much did you pay for it

[hatakashi1900]

A brand new one would cost u £5500 =D

[darthgarfield]

thats not 1/6 scale dumbass

[hatakashi1900]

Then what scale is it?!

[LerhChang]

That's dumbass' response.

[warderseeker]

hahaha.. how would anyone know

[slotmatteo]

is fake :)

[hatakashi1900]

hehehehe of course it is, I can't afford a real one

[qubth]

Also so´n scheiß echt..allein schon das wackelnde rohr und die gummipuppen oben drin sehhn aus wie aus ostdeutscher Produktion- Der Maßstab taugt nix!

[marty979]

can you tell me the brand and manifacturer of this tank.Want to take one.Thanks

[hatakashi1900]

The brand is Mark-1 Tank and I bought it from Mark-1 Tank in England.

[paulstewartcrane]

I should thank you, my Father when he was alive said the British People were very nice to the Americans before he shippid out to Europe. The barn he and his platoon stayed in was quite nice, with blankets, fresh eggs etc.etc.The warm beer was different but good nonetheless And trust me on this- actually you don't want to be there. You and I think there neat, and I agree but to be at the end of that barrel was HORRIBLE. Paul

[hatakashi1900]

Thanks for the compliment again and indeed onl those who were in the war would know how it really felt, being aimed by one of these monsters must be a terrifying experience!!

[paulstewartcrane]

I should have mentioned the few of these my Dad saw in late 1944/early 45, were burned out Or broken down. And am I glad, so was my Dad. 28TH Div. 110th reg. Happy New Year to you on the Isle.

[hatakashi1900]

Thanks for your compliment and glad to know you dad saw these (wish I was there too). Happy new year to u too.

[paulstewartcrane]

Nicely done !
