Looks great, nice job!

[@davepriddy9263]

Great job and video for the Bradley.

[@Cormano980]

There's still hope for this model, Elmod board and a decent Modelspiegel gearbox should make it a champion

[@Bengineeringprojects]

I have never used an elmod board are they any good ? Yes this does have alot of potential

[@Cormano980]

@Bengineeringprojects out there with the best, if not the best, lots of programmable parameters, 30amps for motors, you should give it a look but it's in the 200$ price range just a heads up

[@ZAKU-GD]

Its pretty scale. All the tanks are never actually 1:1 scale except for armortek. But ya I like the Bradley I getting this one. looks like China RC tank companies are starting to make better products and a heaps away from the old henglong days.. 😂😂. Kudos to them.

[@chuckschipper7731]

Did you custom make the TOW missile articulated door/cover or does it come that way? If custom made, would you explain the process?

[@Bengineeringprojects]

The door comes like that. You have to attach it with a screw that is provided. The only thing I added was a stopper to stop it swinging passed the vertical when it's in its lowered position.

What did you use for the antenna

Asking for help... can you tell me exact what size hex wrench needed to remove road wheels? Are they standard or metric? I tried removing them but was afraid to strip those screws as they are very tight; I am trying to use a metric wrench with difficulty. Please advise.

[@Bengineeringprojects]

I can't remember the size but they were metric

[@cav1stlt922]

@@Bengineeringprojects ... thanks a bunch, I was just afraid to strip them for putting on metal running gears. I am a former Cav guy and have been waiting for this model for a long, long time. I aim to treat it like a model, putting on anti-skid surfaces, cutting out those molded in handles on the skirts with wire ones, etc. i'll be spending alot of time on this new model; just wish it has 360 turret rotation.

[@cav1stlt922]

@@Bengineeringprojects ... and all those external luggage n gears looked like just lumps of ill molded plastic so I'll either 'reculpt' all those gears with sharper outlines or simple made new ones completely!

[@Bengineeringprojects]

@cav1stlt922 yeah I was not impressed with the supplied stowage so I weathered what I could and added some of my own aftermarket bits www.ebay.co.uk/itm/386513497366?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=cb8ki-ultdc&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=sEnk-db-SDS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@CertsUAsPilot]

@@cav1stlt922 you can retrofit it to 360 by adding slip ring and cut new teeth in the blank area. Good luck.

What is that track blacken solution name? Thanks

[@Bengineeringprojects]

I don't know the name but I did put a link in the description to where I bought it

[@CertsUAsPilot]

@@Bengineeringprojects Found it on the eBay but they won't ship it to US. I just have find another source. Thanks for your reply.

[@MrTOPACEGUN]

I can’t find the link can you advise for the track blackening solution thanks

[@claycarley9201]

@@CertsUAsPilot I use Oxpho Blue on my tracks, with similar results!

[@scottlarkins7287]

Nice video

[@chuckschipper7731]

Where did you get the spring antennas?

[@Bengineeringprojects]

I made them myself. Its just 1/1.5 mm steel rod and suitable size spring from ebay
