It's a custom-made one. I made it from a brass tube and to scale length. The recoil unit, I made from Taigen Tiger 1 unit. There was a lot of custom work to get it to fit into the Pershing turret. I have a playlist of the whole build.

I don't think so.

Sorry for the late reply! I actually have a build playlist! ua-cam.com/play/PLd3aZwk--8AeF-1kYIYCOAE_pvVoHBtKX.html&si=Ve-XBaYG4kfDAfyN

Broke a track and an axle.

@@Roboticus_Prime_RC To break the axle, you need to try very hard! Is it made of brass or steel?

@@tanks_models That one is brass. They were basically just press-on, and stripped the ridges on the axle. My tanks are very heavy, so easy to do. I'm in the process of upgrading it again. Just need to find time to finish it. ua-cam.com/play/PLd3aZwk--8Ae_uVHEDznfIA0wwSP2sL3s.html&si=mCCNoMrDfdetBxau

They were originally off of some newbright truck I bought at a yard sale for $1. I cut the centers out, the spikes off, then glued them to the WPL wheels.

Nice bro

@@paul707.7 Thanks for watching!

Yes. The Sherman is running MATO tracks, and the Pershing has Taigen.

very nice - would think necessary. ugh…Mato. hope you didn’t apend hours with a metal file removing their name off each track link like I did in my T-90 tracks.

@@ericdbates I don't recall there being a MATO stamp on them. I just put them on and started running it through stuff. Lol Taigen didn't have the duck bill tracks available when I built this tank, so I went with MATO. I'm thinking about upgrading the Pershing to MATO as well.

they look great! worked well. yes, the T-90 tracks had “MATO” raised in metal on each track pad (both sides). I bet I spent 8 hours removing it. Sherman’s probably don’t have the room. :) anyway, nice work.

You're in luck! The Tiger 1 has all sorts of aftermarket parts for it.

@@Roboticus_Prime_RC Good news. I had the tank in storage(1 year) because of moving. Getting back to it now.

On the axles? Sure.

It's actually a NEWQITA Toys locomotive with some Bachmann rolling stock. It looks like a copy of an LGB.

@@Roboticus_Prime_RC it really does.

@@gabrielmikhail7525 I might try to cram an LGB gearbox in it. The ones that are in it are giving me trouble.

I've done no water proofing. But, I also don't go into very deep water. If I wanted to really push it, I could put the control boards in a bag, or small Tupperware inside the tank. The motors can run submerged without issue. Snow is a non-issue. Just let the tank sit outside for 15ish minutes, so it is the same temperature. The snow won't melt on it or stick to it then.

The Sherman is mostly a Taigen. It has a MATO turret and tracks because Taigen didn't have the 76 turret or duckbills at the time. They do now, though. www.taigentanks.com

Just something I picked up at a garage sale.

Glad you liked it!

Thanks!

Heng Long really has come a long way since I bought this tank. Most barrel recoil units you buy are for IR turrets. This one still shoots the 6mm BBs.

@@Roboticus_Prime_RC the one that I bought (recoil unit) has the b.b. and recoil function.

Those were not available when I bought this tank. It's 8 years old. The only thing available at the time was something expensive like an IBU, so I spliced two of the RX-18 MFUs together to disable track recoil. And, when I bought the new Taigen board, Heng Long was still using the RX-18. My second kid delayed all RC projects until now, so I'm using parts I bought a few years ago. This tank is getting the Taigen V3 MFU. The only reason I have to do any wiring at all is because I ripped the guts out of their Tiger 1 recoiling airsoft turret to make this M26 turret. Thanks for watching!

@@Roboticus_Prime_RC oh. Ok I completely understand. Great video!!

I do these days. This is an olllld clip.

I kinda go over it in this video. ua-cam.com/video/VjxiCBiQ6yo/v-deo.html I cut a few mm out of the middle of each tire, and super glued them back together. Then I cut the outer ring and hub out of a set of rims and glued them to the back of another set of rims. Doing it this way let's you have duals without making the truck wider. There are aftermarket rims you can buy that let's you just put uncut tires on for duals, but they make the truck wider. I'll be making another set soon for another truck I want to build.

This specific mod isn't a kit. Taigen made a recoiling airsoft turret for their Tiger 1. I'm gutting one of those and modifying a Pershing turret to recoil. Part 1 covers the tear-down. ua-cam.com/video/grgpyX7WXKU/v-deo.html I get most parts from www.taigentanks.com/ They do have normal IR recoil kits, though.

@@Roboticus_Prime_RC Thank you for the information . Keep up the great work .

Not yet. I'm getting ready to replace the turret and electronics. The track just needs a replacement link. I'll fix the track as part of that build series. The buried tank is very beat-up. The previous owner must have had another tank with a super hopped up airsoft, because it has a bunch of 6mm holes and dents in it. It will need a complete rebuild.

Initially? $80. I've put a few hundred into it over the years. I have spare track links, so this break will only cost time.

I've got a few more older videos coming up on this tank with more upgrades.

You're in luck! I'm getting ready to make more content. IRL just got in the way.

@@Roboticus_Prime_RC I feel ya on that. It's the same way with me.
