NOTHING BETTER THAN SPENDING SOME TIME WITH MY DAD, Working on a Project! My special guest today is my father. He has driven from a province over to mess me up. Just kidding of course, as it's an absolute pleasure to have him here in the studio! Get ready for some laughs, some stories, and of course some epic building!
We attack the suspension and torsion bars for the mammoth (Elefant) tank destroyer today! These are types of projects that will always remember, and by capturing this footage - not only is it helping other build this tank with us, but gives him and I a chance to talk about the old days, and make a few new memories! This is the magic of this hobby that I enjoy so much. There is always a great time to be had.. and this ARMORTEK 1/6 scale ALL METAL TANK certainly is the style of project we love to tinker with. For all those viewers who think this is NOT a tostion bar setup.. learn something new here: - and check out the Elefant Section. Indeed.. it is a torsion bar setup, designed by Ferdinand Porsche.
is the website that I sourced this German World War 2 Ferdinand "Elefant" Tank.
I have gathered some of the key people who have helped make our show so special over the years - to come together and build the largest RC kit I could find -
The "Elefant" from Armortek! /
This massive tank has more than 1350 parts, and will weigh over 200 lbs when it is completed. I opted to get all of the optional parts, including the Smoke Kit, the Motion Kit, the Recoil Kit, AND the Sound Kit! I knew for this momentous occasion - we wanted to go big!
