RC tank scale comparison

Sometimes, it's tricky to tell how big a scale model is - that's part of the build. Here is a short comparison of the models frequently seen in my videos.
*Sorry for the not so crisp sound*.

[@martingardener90]

The Cent really does look big even compared to the Tiger. Can't wait to see your first 1:1 scale 3d printed tank Erik! ( maybe a Goliath!!! )

[@builtbyWikander]

Haha, right? I actually saw a Goliath at the Arsenalen museum earlier this year, and though "that's a decent size!" 😄

Man you are brave. I am naval modeller and I have most of my boats in 1:24, all handmade. Since last march I 3D printed trucks, MB LA 1113, Ford AA and MB LPS2224 but all in 1:10, now I am trying to print matilda2 in same scale, but, long way to go. Making anything from plans avaliable on net and not seeing thing in real life is a nightmare.

[@builtbyWikander]

Awesome, the Mathilda is a sweet looking tank. Getting a 1/35 plastic model can really help if you get stuck with just images and 2d-drawings. Best of luck!

[@sjoormen1]

@@builtbyWikander thx for fast reply. Brilliant idea. I think that might be the answer.

[@rb67mustang]

All of your builds are great. I really enjoy seeing them in action. Yes, the Centurion is big and it makes all the other 1/6 scale tanks look small.

[@builtbyWikander]

Thanks a lot, and thank you so much for watching. 😊

[@ZAKU-GD]

hey there friend, ive been subbed to this channel for a few yrs now and boy have your channel grown. Im super stoked for you and your RC handmade tanks. there every impressive. I used to watch alot of "rc Tasnk" channels back when i was heavily into it but lost steam due big headaches with certain builder and manufactures, those i really like to watch here on YT were the German expo and Sweden model events. You guys are the master in this field of rc tank modeling. I love it! Wish you great success to you and your channel!! you really genuinely deserve it

[@builtbyWikander]

That's very kind of you, I really appreciate it. 🙏 Thanks for watching!

[@davepriddy9263]

Very cool and thanks for sharing this.

[@builtbyWikander]

Thanks for watching!

[@iforce2d]

Very interesting. I'm working on a tank-kind-of-thing which will be 1200mm long and around 38kg. Not a scale model though, just something fun to drive around... hopefully. Was hoping for lighter but it all adds up so fast!

[@builtbyWikander]

Awesome! The Cent's hull is 1200 mm. And I know what you mean - my goal for the Cent was 40 kg, but like you said, it add up. Best of luck with your build!

[@FarsansTorraOrdvitsar]

Snyggt! Bra filmat. Snyggt med fler vinklar. 😊

[@builtbyWikander]

Tackar! 😄

[@robertmorey4104]

Nice comparison. Even tho ive seen em before, the comparison is cool. You could take it up a notch n discuss each design inside under the hood a bit more. Also what you learned and improved in each. Kinda missing the BT 7. Nice work!

[@builtbyWikander]

Great idea for a future video. Thanks a lot for feedback and for watching!

"I actually thought that 1:8 scale was a perfect size, there's no need to go bigger. Boy was I wrong" Wikander in 2040: How to make 1:1 scale strf 9040C

[@builtbyWikander]

😂😂😂 Way too accurate!

[@pabloalbertoayala4839]

hey, you must to show us your collection !!! awesome video!!!

[@builtbyWikander]

That was basically it. 😅 A couple of 1/8 scale models didn't make it in the video, but there is a Meet my tanks-playlist on my channel as well where they are displayed. 🙂

[@bilplaymo6121]

Many thanks for your scale choice informations ! my "Battle order" is choose, only 1/6 !! yes, big, but so realistic ! ( and place to put all inside...) many thanks for sharing, PERFECT as usual !! Be careful Fans ask you now to print a real scale 1:1 tank ! lol ........ take care, Tack ; )

[@builtbyWikander]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, 1/6 is a great scale - big and realistic, and a joy to work with. Haha, maybe a 1:1 in the future! 😄

[@olafwustehoff2648]

Daumen hoch klasse 💯✨️👍👍

[@builtbyWikander]

Thank you!

[@MartinFutter70]

Nice size comparison 👍👍

[@builtbyWikander]

Thank you! I have to include 1/5 and the 1/4 next time!

[@MartinFutter70]

​@builtbyWikander the bigger you make them, the harder it it is to judge the scale, due to the impressive amount of details which make them look real.

[@nitzerebbhead]

1/8th scale tanks just don't have much support. The 1/6th scale community on the other hand is huge with tons of support. Love your Centurion. I'm getting ready to start printing a Hetzer in 1/6th scale. I love Armortek tanks, but I can't see spending the money on them.

[@builtbyWikander]

Thank you! The Hetzer looks really nice in 1/6, best of luck with your build!

[@high_coast_rc_7243]

Fantastiskt kul att se dom så här!

[@builtbyWikander]

Roligt att höra! 😊 Tack!

[@antitank123]

Kul att se alla dina fina modeller på ett och samma ställe

[@builtbyWikander]

Tack, Hans! 🙏

[@L_ennyman]

not gonna lie you should make a full video about the fm21, maybe tell your experience modelling it too?

[@builtbyWikander]

Yeah, that would be great, I just have to make it work properly first. 😄

[@carloshnunez]

Very good video awesome models 🔵🔵🔵🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍🔵🔵🔵

[@builtbyWikander]

Thank you!

[@davepriddy9263]

Is the Centurion your newest project? I can't wait to follow the build.

[@builtbyWikander]

Hi, thanks for watching! I have started on a 1/4 tank, check out my latest videos for more. 😊 There's also a build video of the 105 out now!

[@R3cHin13]

Yup , best use 1/6 scale tanks , I use metal to build a tank from recycled parts but go up to 130 kg at 1/6 scale

[@albertobru826]

Bravo

[@builtbyWikander]

Thank you!

[@eljukilju1334]

Hi. I have watched your many videos and I love them. Im thinking about to conversion of trumpeter 1/16 rc tank, but I dont know how im going to make elctronics. Should I use two escs or control board? Can you please help me?

[@builtbyWikander]

Hello and thank you so much for following the channel! I would say that two esc:s works great, but i haven't any experience of a control board. If you just want your model to work, I don't think you can go wrong with two esc:s.

[@eljukilju1334]

@@builtbyWikander Thanks for your fast answer. But what about gearboxes in that scale? I cant find any of them in Finland.

[@builtbyWikander]

@@eljukilju1334 If it's a 1/16 tank you are converting, there should be a lot of 1/16 gearboxes and motors from brands like Torro and Heng long and Tamiya.

Impressive can you make a Sherman M4A1 76W VVSS please i want to see it 1:6

[@builtbyWikander]

Thabk you! No Sherman in the build list at the moment, but there's is a couple 1/6 roaming around in several of my videos. 🙂

[@dutchtank1980]

Great models. Would you share the fm21 stl file?

[@builtbyWikander]

Thank you! I have plans on doing so, as soon as I have sorted out what motors to use and have strengthen the hull a bit. 🙂
