Artus-V12 inside an King Tiger Tank

We develop in our spare time an mini V12 engine for RC applications
The Artus -V12 inside an 1/4 scale King Tiger Tank. one Hydraulic pump are drive two Hydraulic motor right and left - thats it
The ARTUS-V12 is an 4stroke watercooled gasoline Engine.
the whole system weight are 880 lb
das gesamtgewicht beträgt 400 Kg
We develop in our spare time an mini V12 engine for RC applications
We got a conection sparking by my website www.v12-motor.com . Finish and German friends / Pekka from Finland was seek after an V12 engine for his ready build tank. and Me/Ralf was made the ARTUS-V12 for him and put it into the Tank. thats it.

Sounds great. Looks great. And moves like it should. So nice build! I can't wait to see it "finished"

[@PaddyPatrone]

Endlich! Jetzt noch den Turm drauf und ab ins gelände.

[@-ewen]

Brilliant guys. Engineering at it's finest!!!!

[@Will_CH1]

Absolutely stunning achievement. It is a work of art blended with engineering. but revs too fast

[@Wolfenion]

It probably has to rev fast to get enough power out of it seen as it would have very little torque due to the small piston diameter.

[@spankeyfish]

I like that you've cobbled together a cooling system from PC watercooling parts.

[@jerrypeppler1484]

Absolutely beautiful work.

[@michaeltrilck5680]

HERRLICH! Der ist im Modell auf jedenfall stärker als der Motor im Original 1:1... So fix wie das Modell über die Paletten drüber fährt... 😉

[@marcelosedy4703]

Bravo!

[@XBC1000]

Cub sounds like cub. Nice work.

[@SilentRazor1uk]

Very nice indeed, ..just needs a heavier flywheel, and or some sort of governor/limter for more 'to scale' movement & closer to realistic revolution/exhaust sounds - perhaps restricting the 'full' throttle operating movement by 1/3rd or 1/2+?

[@thatdeathstepguy8719]

Its a V12, so its actually having a huge amount of torque. That 400kg body wont be a challenge for it.

[@SJohnM81]

Very nice indeed. Waiting for one to be flown in a Spitfire or 109. :)

[@JensAndree]

Suddenly my hobby of building 1/35 scale German tanks seems rather small and inferior... ;) What a fantastic build you're doing!!! I've watched all your previous videos now and I'm excited to see what comes next? Hopefully it won't take another 5-6 years to finish because I'm not the most patient person - and that's why I'm building my Königstiger in 1/35 scale, and in plastic, instead of 1/4 scale and fully working! My hat off to you guys!

[@fred3000]

Finally! Great, outstanding work!

[@Quattroowner]

Respekt für die Arbeit und die handwerkliche Leistung . Das schlimme ist , auch wenn der Motor noch so toll ist , den Klang des echten 28 Liter Motors kann man einfach nicht nachmachen . Das wird leider immer Richtung Rasenmäher gehen ...

[@mr.w4694]

Quattroowner hab ich auch gerade gedacht :( Sonst echt ein Meisterwerk

[@MrStinger39]

Das stimmt nicht so ganz, es gibt solche Minimotörchen die durchaus ein ähnliches Klangbild haben wie ihre großen Vorbilder.

[@MrStinger39]

Ich würde sagen die Übersetzung paßt nicht, der Motor dreht viel zu hoch, bei niedriger Drehzahl klingt er schon eher wie das Original.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

*Kompliment !!!*

[@Phunker1]

Wie cool ist das denn!

[@davidmicheletti6292]

Fine workmanship ! All do respect !

[@vonJaerschky]

Love it! Sounds like a Ferrari tank!

[@kaifriedrich3354]

Wunderbar

[@CaptBane-mt2sw]

if you ever plan to sell one of these I’d save up and buy one

[@V12-motor]

[@macmccartney5760]

Awesome plenty of grunt

[@petertimowreef9085]

This is it. All R/C people can go home, this man wins.

[@jungletrooper9252]

Yes.

[@billyfoster3223]

Amazing!😎

[@curill1]

SUPER !!!

[@korpikuus]

Awesome!

[@tommyw.9424]

I bet it works a lot better than a real King Tiger

[@jiggermast]

That is one sweet motor, well done!

[@theflyinggasmask]

beautiful

[@francobarone7437]

Magnificent, a work of art mate.

[@fresnobob2886]

sounds like the engine needs a more radical cam.

[@nzwotb2525]

That's flipping cool

[@jeversgang]

Nice work

[@DL6UK]

it smokes like a 2-stroke engine

[@V12-motor]

the engine burns oil because some detail was'nt fixed

[@volvo245]

DL6UK No it smokes like a Ferrari v12 built before 1994. 😁

[@kdzenins]

I would change the gear ratio, seems the engine has plenty of power and it doesn't need to rev so much. Other than that its a very nice build!

[@adoser100]

simply amazing...

[@sainotigre1]

formidable , j aurais eu connaissance de ce moteur plus tot je l aurais utilisé pour mon léopard 2 a la place de moteurs bruschless ,

[@blumac9801]

That's cool, do you play world of tanks?

[@Jonnesdeknost]

amazing

[@user-rx2ph5sn7u]

amazing! but rpm too high for this aplication...

[@alldayvids3962]

is that a 2 stroke?

[@bestamerica]

' that cooool nice model tank with R/C system... try use battery power with twin electric motors... how about american super duty T-28 main battle tank with 4 tracks

[@stegosaurus8963]

technisch sau cool aber leider bewegt sich der tiger viel zu schnell das ist nicht besonders realistisch... :(

[@darcypoirier6370]

how much time on your do u need to do this?

[@oscarzt1652]

is the V12 used as an electric generator for the electric motors you have up the front

[@SilentRazor1uk]

hydraulic motors/turbines/smaller-rotary-pumps-as-drive-motors

[@oscarzt1652]

yeah but i didnt understand the concept of "hydraulic motors" at the time

[@dwarjones6696]

If they can make that then they can make a Ford GAF engine it's a actual tank engine that runs on gas

[@jacksena6128]

That was main.

[@davyjones5873]

Is it metal or plastic? Just curious

[@V12-motor]

It is 450 Kg Metall

[@milwaukeegregg]

Not much torque....Sounds great but runs out of steam in a climb...

[@trevoncowen9198]

why not use 12 carburetors

[@mafracao]

Trevon Cowen have you ever tried to sync and tune a multi-carburetor engine? It would be nearly impossible to get it tuned properly...

[@davidecireddu4255]

Can i buy this tank?

[@MArcin91]

Sound like Ferrari F50

[@igorrpetrov4236]

What the transmission? Gearbox and steering?

[@V12-motor]

one Hydraulic pump are drive two Hydraulic motor right and left -> thats it

[@igorrpetrov4236]

I looked the tank driving and I decided you had used the real double differential as real Tiger has. )))

[@nessiebm2915]

Gibt es das Projekt noch?

[@V12-motor]

Ja das Motorenprojekt gibt es noch. Warum?

[@vlga8917]

fit the turret with a high calibre rifle in it as the gun.

[@Dryootube]

looks as though you cooked it

[@kygravaultz4087]

Take my money

[@user-fh2cw9mi5y]

If a King Tiger was powered by a Ferrari engine 😂 good work but put some electric motors in there

[@V12-motor]

What the hell should i do without your advice, good comment

[@originalrcfun7368]

Poor engine! Chould not rew that high. Allmost on the limiter all the time?

[@volvo245]

Goran Oieras Just like the real one, then. Powertrain was the weakness of all ww2 German tanks above 40 tons.

[@TheEsseboy]

The cylinders are 16.6 CC each...they could probably rev 2 times as high lol!

[@eshollen]

Goran Oieras too much fuel, not small enough valves my guess. Designed for the revs, bo doubt

[@originalrcfun7368]

The Esseboy sounds like 2 stroke and smokes like a 2 stroke

[@TheEsseboy]

Higly doubt it's a 2-stroke as it is a V12, that would be very hard to make! But I could be wrong.

[@h.cedric8157]

Formula Tank

[@wulfthemountaindragon5432]

You realize that this thing is heavier than a fucking ww2 jeep right?

[@tandemfandom1]

pity it sounds more like a race car though lol
