FERDINAND ELEFANT: 1/6 Scale METAL TANK BUILD "Tanks for 10 Years" PT 7 | RC ADVENTURES

[@drache444444]

the slidy hatch is the wrong way in , that slot in there is for the periscope aiming devise of the main gun , thats why its slidy , so you can aim it left and right

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Thanks for the Tip.. the book is a challenge to interpret..

[@brockstebbing8359]

Show the whole build already damn fam, making me scroll to much haha

[@jeffsmith6388]

@@TheRealRCSparks I have just been watching the videos, I can see from here the instructions seem to add an extra challenge. I look forward to each episode!

[@anthonyladuca8165]

Can wait see it fished i been watching u begin to end 😎🍾

[@hey.its.i3lue149]

And the sliding "hatch" isn't a hatch it's for the gun sight that protrudes out of the fighting compartment. It's this way so that the gun can traverse from side to side, where a fixed sight will not do any good.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

How do you build an Elefant?! One piece at a time, of course!! The MASSIVE TANK DESTROYER Build continues...

*CAN HE DO A BACK FLIP*

OVER KILL PULL THE JUDGE!!!!! *MAKE EM PROUD* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice video Also very PROUD of how far this channel has come since 2014

[@matthewfraser2352]

CAN U PLEASEEEEEE GET THE REDCAT GEN 8

[@bigchungus-oj8zz]

My Father, when he was alive, built model kits. His focus was on WWII ARMOR, tanks mostly. Each one would take approximately 6 months to build. He researched each one through all available sources and then added parts and modified the tanks accordingly. He even chopped the soldiers bodies apart to get them to sit, stand or load/fire weapons. I remember he even split the fingers apart and had some smoking cigarettes! We still have them in display cabinets. He entered them at the local Fair a couple times, winning Best In Show for all models every time. He built an Elefant Tank, that's what made me think of it. Thanks for the memories...

[@tracyd4774]

Medic wins the prize for owning the most man toys on the planet! I wish he was my neighbor. Hey there is an idea. A gated community for RC hobbyists only. HEAVEN. Can you imagine the daily carnage?

[@tracyd4774]

Instead of golf course. Housing built around race parks, lake and air field. Oh YEAH. We make our own Home Owners Association rules. Rules like... you must have been seen with RC models in your driveway at least once a week. Your grass must show signs of RC mayhem. Window unit AC always welcome. Project vehicles must not litter drive for more than 3 months. Fuckin aye!

[@tracyd4774]

Build it and they will come!

[@rjcorrea6640]

That would be so cool

[@Evan_Moore61]

I love Michael’s shirt! “No need to repeat yourself, I ignored you the first time.” It’s great to see more guys join the tank build!

[@RCPlayGround]

I can't wait to see the finished Tiger Tank. Really cool.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@extremeseas2165]

I built a plow to put on my trx4 today. Shoveled my whole driveway it worked amazingly

[@SuperSecretSquirell]

That final mock up.....holy crap! I knew this thing was a big beast, but that just put it over the top.

[@thedumpydustman6088]

What a total monster of a model. Can't wait to see it working!

[@joejohnson-feeney3410]

You Boyz are doing a amazing job. My son and I are extremely excited every time we watch the videos. And the lil tedious filing that Krazy Joe, Mike and Brad did is outstanding. Steve and Rook great job on the motors wiring and smoke tubing. And Medic thank you for filming. Keep up the great work Boyz can't wait till it's all said and done.

[@gustavolee9513]

Literally my favorite rc KZbin channel

[@richardhalley6895]

KZbin Gold was one of the best shows ,loved the antics .

[@jerrodarndt4012]

That thing is epic! In size and detail! An armortec tank is now on my bucket list!

[@rookie101_]

Man it looks so killer as we progress!! I can’t believe how much more we still have to do though.

[@Surtur04]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I think you guys should have put some sort of grease on the gears when you put the motors in. I've been watching a guy named oddball759 mm. He does commissions and pretty much his whole channel is armortek tank builds and he strongly suggest that the gears from the motors to the final drives and the final drives themselves should have some grease in them.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

They are greased :)

[@Surtur04]

@@TheRealRCSparks Ah, good. I must not have seen it done or it was just edited out. I've been a long time subscriber and I would just hate to see something go wrong on your 10 year celebration build.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

@@Surtur04 THANK You for looking out or us! Im very fortunate, and Rookie is a Mechanic of 30 years. Great guy to have on the team, who makes sure that things are done the RIGHT way!

[@nothsim]

WOW. Cant believe how thick the aluminum is!!! It really is bullet proof!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Yup 1/6 scale armor!! It was 6 times thicker on the full size tank destroyer!!

[@KlemenRucigaj]

Well gentlemen’s! This truly is one mepic project 👍 Truly worth 10th anniversary. Congrats to the entire team 👍👍👍

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Thank you Klemen!! I appreciate the accolades. This had to be a project of epic proportions.. something you would all remember for a VERY LONG TIME! 10 years on KZbin is not an easy thing to do... nor is this tank. Haha! Takes a team!

[@AllOrNoneR.C.]

Coming along great really love the way it's coming together, 200+ hours of work =a lifetime of enjoyment, keep it up, so ready to hear that sound kit

[@ejs6097]

Now we are getting into my favorite part of any build. The tedious, fine details! This is the test for most hobbyist. Those who demand to much perfection of themselves may never finish a project... So much experience in 1 room! One now knows what it would be like to have 3 or 4 of ones self to tackle a large task such as this. Shout out to all you guys helping out! I admit I am a bit jelly. I wish i could do more than watch... : ( Getting really excited for a finished product, yet i don't want the build to end... I have looked forward to these hang outs! Everything is absolutely beautiful my dudes!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Wish you were here to help us, EJ! I think you should check out "KZbin GOLD", and "Loading Wars".. they are two other series with my RC Family that you will really enjoy :)

[@STEVOD313]

All hands on deck! U must be getting eager to get this bad boy done, I know I’m ready to see it in action, Tank goodness it’s just about there

great progress in the construction, now you can see more and more contours of the tank......great Job and thumbs up👍👍

[@satorrotas]

Excellent work to all, it is a huge construction and out of the ordinary !! 😊👍

[@wallacengineering8096]

Hey Medic, huge fan for years. You should do a family video where you, Jem, and your son all go out and run a trail together. True family RC! Also I would like to recommend a product to you. SMC Racing Lipo Batteries. Most batteries just display C ratings witch studies have shown to be innaccurate and exaggerated. SMC puts the actual, TRUE amperage rating right on the battery pack. Very affordable as well, 4S 7400 mAH 90C 149 Amp battery goes for just $80. Truly powerful batteries for very reasonable prices. Ive been running them for years. Just had my 2S lipos from them puff up and die after more than 4 years of running weekly. Worth every penny and more.

[@mikebultema2536]

So cool to be able to watch this build. A 1/6 scale tank is something most people into RC’s wouldn’t consider. Because you have it on your channel I’m experiencing it and broadening my view of RC’s. Thanks.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

This kind of comment is pure gold. Thanks Mike.. glad to read that..

[@SanshokuCustoms]

Man, thats a ginormous beast. I love it right away

[@snowmodrc]

Now that is just epic! Been glued to this build, cant wait to see it run and get dirty.

[@jeffsmith6388]

Looking forward to the finished model!

[@NordicRC]

Amazing! That motion control unit is bigger than a 1/10 I think. And yeah, at the moment my best memory from RCSparks is KZbin Gold too. Just Loved that show. Loving this build too though 😍

[@rogerchevelle7231]

Coming along nice..great to see the guys putting in so much effort to make it right.

your show has gotten me through many hospitalizations ,thanks. I,VE BEEN IN WITH SPINAL STENOSIS CAUSED BY ARTHRITIC BUILD UP AND AT LEAST 7 HEART ATTACKS. I KNOW WHAT BACK PAIN IS BUT I'VE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT THE SAME PROCESS THAT BUILDS THE PLAQUE IN YOUR JOINTS DOES THE SAME THING TO YOUR ARTERIES SO IT IS IMPERATIVE TO GET THAT HEART CHECKED OR THE NEXT TIME I WIND UO IN THE HOSPITAL, I STILL HAVE YOUR SHOW TO WATCH

It's looking like you are making a big national project medic... Cant wait for the fun.... Nice one... medic....

[@Vibration_Crew]

I believe the old 12 inch long "Action Man/GI.Joe" figures from back in the day were suppose to represent a 6ft tall man at 1/6th scale or there about's, in case you want to add a crew member to the Elephant. Seen a few other Armortek builds using them as crew with hand made uniforms. Fantastic build and friendships with this anniversary build. 👍

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Oh man, I am wayyyyyyyy ahead of you on that! Stay tuned! :) Thanks so much, glad to know you are enjoying the show!!

man medic this tank is flying together already, this has to be a fun build with everyone.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

It is a crazy amount of work.. and I know most viewers still dont see what has to be done.. but the detail and weathering are still coming.. and that is a process and a half. We should see it move, hopefully soon :)

When its finally done, i think we can all agree. First thing to do is test the pulling power of this thing with The Judge

This weighs 220lbs. The judge at full load is 78. Judge loses. Lol

[@iamapineapple5724]

@@TheRealRCSparks Hmm. It would be a lot to ask for a new judge, and impractical. I was just thinking it would be a great video to see this tank try to pull 500lb or something. Maybe you can figure something out to show us the true power of this monster of a tank?
