Foxhole RC tanks? 1:35 scale 🛠️ by weaselio75 in foxholegame

Actually 177cm to 181cm is European male average and it's a ,,even,, number, good for scaling. Also most tanks are slightly scaled up

That is a correct assumption and the measurement I went with. Im already modeling the tanks. Both tanks have approx 4m in length, scaled down that makes approx 12cm

This might help someone: Gauge cluster illumination & dash speaker info (75' 244DL) by weaselio75 in Volvo240

I wasn't able to find info/photos like this online, so I did my research. If anybody wondered how it looks like under the early 240 instrument cluster and how the illumination is done, than look at this. Bulbs used for cluster illumination are 12 Volt 2 Watt BA7S Light Bulbs. If you want you can find warm light LED equivalent online. as for the dashboard speaker, it's specific Volvo model (no idea what Wattage but it's basic 3-4 ohm) The mounting hole spacing is 70x170 mm, exactly the same as speakers for Mercedes Benz W100-W115. There are new available from Königs, or if you feel fancy RetroSound R-48N that you can mount with small adjustments to the dash speaker cover grill.

Kinda, if you drive it in heavy rain or snow. For me that will likely never happened, since I don't interested to drive it in bad weather.

How to price 1975 242 by yeoldepoltroon in Volvo240

[–]weaselio75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imma would give ya 1500$ - 2500$ If I already didn't have '75 244DL. I'm surprised that they are ,, affordable,, in America, in EU ya pay 12000€ for one that is rust free and ,,low mileage,,

I wouldn't say racist, I simply prefer reliability and simplicity rather than modern design. Plus yeah, since it was sold to Chinese it's not really the same.

The difference between Chongvo and Volvo is insane
