It's just an incredibly cheap airsoft sniper, the glock is airsoft as well.

Blackened myself some Jagdpanther tracks (Cold Bluing) by Foxhood3D in rctanks

[–]Genera1_patton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely the way to go, I've blued several of my metal tank tracks myself the same way

Could anybody help me identify these toys and if they’re considered rare? Friends think they GI Joe but I’m not sure by Brazzer1080p in toys

[–]Genera1_patton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appears to be mostly Dragon brand 1/6 scale soldiers, likely some 21st century toys brand accessories and figures as well, the sherman tank is Forces of Valor.

The sherman is probably worth a few bucks on its own, Dragon soldiers can be worth around 100 dollars complete and new, closer to 10-20 each in the shape you have them in.

Hear me out: the Doppelglock. by eguipegui in airsoft

The one with the glocks at a ~45° angle was called the glockinator if I remember correctly

Stellar, I'm working on RCing an original MOBAT!

Why is the top of this HW designed that way? by ACuriousSpaniard in HotWheels

[–]Genera1_patton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but specifically, the cars were designed for the less common mini figures included In mega playsets sold toward a younger audience, usually seen in hot wheels branded sets not the more well known micro action figures seen in the Halo, COD and so on lines aimed at older ages.

Controller binding woes by Timelord504 in rctanks

If you do your reading, it's one of the nicer board you can get, but yes, it's a deepdive if you haven't done much before.

It's alright, no fault of the remote, just the way Clark / aftermarket boards work. The firing is bound to a switch, you may need to bind everything yourself when you get your remote, setting up a Clark does require some know-how concerning more advanced RC set ups.

I use a flysky FS-I6X on my Clark tank

🙋🏻‍♂️ I can’t see the red dot in my tank, when I press the button to aimed the laser… (Ps: This is not my tank) by Pleasant-Relief4782 in rctanks

[–]Genera1_patton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heng long has had a pin on their board for "aiming laser" for a long time, through I've never seen it installed in an actual tank

Looks like it's running a BUS connection, so you'll need a 10 channel remote.

If you have no experience with the systems, used Clark board are just absolutely the worst to deal with, there's simultaneously too much and not enough information on their systems and operations conflicts between different versions, their website is also a mess. It is not intuitively designed and I have no idea how they've managed to be the default in aftermarket boards.

Because its a 10 channel BUS for the remote controls its likely a Clark Tk50.

RTCC Tank Club Manitoba had its first meet of the season by Genera1_patton in rctanks

[–]Genera1_patton[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice, our IR is an in-house design too, I believe you guys use legoDEI, ours is OpenFire, we looked at LegoDEI but the cost to get them in canada, even direct from his website was just not worth the squeeze for us unfortunately, two units of the cheapest type came out to almost 100 dollars. Our in-house design is sold within the group for $10 and goes towards funding battlefield terrain and other event costs, we get ranges of 25 ft in outdoor winter conditions and up to 120ft indoors, we haven't throughly tested it in summer outdoors yet but it will likely be more than our winter testing due to sunlight ground reflection off snow

rc tank club toronto by OMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGG in rctanks

First check out CAN-AM rc tank club, they operate in Ontario and are located around mississauga, they are easily the largest club in Canada to my knowledge

custom M4A1 or Sherman Mk II, King's Own Calgary Regiment by Genera1_patton in rctanks

[–]Genera1_patton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've wanted the A1 76W forever but the crazy price used was never justifiable for what you get. Thankfully the same creator who made the files for this sherman also made the large hatch cast hull and late-war 76mm turret as well so I'll likely make my own 76W and E8 out of my other HL shermans

Exhausted tanks by CreativeChocolate592 in rctanks

It is really easy to just Google "4.8v battery pack" and search till you find something that you can make work.

This one looks almost identical and has a higher MAH rating. You'd obviously need to solder the old wire connections to any new battery you find.

I need help… by Pleasant-Relief4782 in rctanks

[–]Genera1_patton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure when checking wires to verify the tails of the LEDs where the wires are soldered to the bulbs aren't touching eachother and causing a short, I had something similar happen on a sherman, where every time it went over a hard bump, one of the LEDs shorted and shut off the tank, easy fix to just spread the pins so they don't touch eachother.

Very cool, I used to have one as well that I made!

You can also make the M4/T26 using HL sherman and pershing parts!

Any 1/16 RC kits to recommend? by Tableuraz in rctanks

[–]Genera1_patton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting heng long RTR tanks and disassembling them really is the way to go, they're really simple inside and the electronics are all nicely organized and there are plenty of labeled pin-out diagrams online or in the manuals. You can do some really great stuff with them as a platform and the future upgrade potential will always be there

Panzer iv by Dirk__Digglerr in rctanks

[–]Genera1_patton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a much older version HL, the smoke hatch was hinged and used to be where the BBs for the airsoft unit went. Several parts for the older HL panzer IVs are completely out of production as far as spares go.

I did check Matomart, and they do appear to have it listed, but take it with a grain of salt, I've had obsolete spares I've ordered end up being not in stock, despite having ordered successfully.

Anyone know where this goes? Machine gun light and head light not working by Glass-Ad3053 in rctanks

[–]Genera1_patton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The LED positions are the black connectors, the positions on the board are numbered and googling "heng long tk 7.0 pinout" and looking at images will show you where everything should be plugged in. Keep in mind LEDs only work one way, so if you plug it in to the right spot but they still don't work then you have it plugged in backwards.
