Wonder whether it'll come with the new IR system that they have been developing...

[Sabretooth]

WAH LAO!!! My STUG 3 dun want to come out... keep coming out some other tanks!

[Planedev]

You can always get teh conversion kit for teh stug 3 using a PZ3 as teh base

Where sell? U think the PzIV can put the Battle system too?

[Planedev]

Not sure where to get the conversion kit, as i saw it in RCU, anyway I am sure any Heng long tank coming out shld be able to put battle system if they use teh same boards.

The Panzer IV is now on sale...

http://www.rctank.de/product_info.php?products_id=374&osCsid=fba13da03cfaa43a13f890bb31d1e2f8

...But the price is just too high - 119.99EUR exlcuding shipping.

Anyone knows of any lobang to get one locally?

[Planedev]

I heard they are available in HK for ard SGD$80, not sure where you can find them online, maybe you can try ebay?

[calvinlo]

Yes, I also heard that it's available in HK already, but thus far I've been checking ebay for the past 2 weeks, and I've not seen them yet...

[calvinlo]

It's here...Thanks to Devil_grins for the nice paintwork.



Now, I must think of a way to install Darith's system without sacrificing the airsoft gun, which appears to be the best among all the HL tanks.

[Apache]

Looks good !



But how is the quality ? Think the plastic parts and detailing like hatch positions are not accurate right ?

[calvinlo]

Nope...Actually, I dare say this is one of the best tanks that HL has come out.

Except for the rear storage bin (which belongs to the Panzer III) and the sprockets being a little lower than the real one, the rest of the features e.g. hatch position...etc look quite accurate.

hey calvin whee u get that figure damm cool man

[Planedev]

I installed Darkith's battle circuit on my PZIII while retainingteh airsoft gun, there is nothing much you need to do differently just do not u solder teh motor leads to the airsoft cannon and it shld still work it you turn on teh airsoft switch.

Planedev: Thanks for the tips. I'll commence on the Darith system once I get my elmod system fully up and running.

Just soldered the DBC this afternoon (my off day ) and tested it on the Panzer IV...AND it doesn't work...

When I switched on, there is no engine ignition and no smoke from the PCB board , only a strange humming sound coming from the smoker.

Sigh...hope I didn't overheat any components during the soldering phase. Will check for connectivity and shorts during my lunch time tomorrow. Sigh...
