      @tigerpark1958 hi! 👋 I know it’s really quiet, I think because the internals are so small, it’s hard to fit a bigger speaker, and the control board is very different from the usual type in heng longs etc. I think it’s like a board out of rc diggers and stuff. If I find a way of making it louder without changing the board I’ll pop up a vid. Thanks for watching! And have a great week.

    Plus, can I just say, that, some of the faults that you point out, are down to moulding problems. It’s not always possible to reproduce exact details from a real life tank size into 1:16 moulding that can actually be removed from the moulds! These are not completely hand built totally accurate 1:16 models. You will have to pay a lot more for that individual model, do you want to pay £1200-£2500 per model for that greater accuracy ?? Most people don’t ! So don’t knock too hard or you wont get them at all !

      Um I don’t think you watched all the video, I love Haya to bits, I don’t know if you noticed but my profile picture is a high Chieftain, it got me back in the hobby, and Andrew is a very nice man who has done a hell of a lot for this hobby, with a small company in Wales. Um if you did watch the whole video, you would’ve seen that I said that this wasn’t a reflection on haya ability to make ready to run rc tanks, and I completely understand the limitations of injection moulding and that it can cost £140,000 to make the tooling for 1/16 thank. But as I’m a model maker if I can’t find something that needs improving then I’m a bit crap aren’t I?, you can find improvement in the best of model kit because that’s why we’re model makers. There are many upgrade kits for the massive 16 armour tech tanks because they also need improving in certain areas, the long tanks quite frankly if it’s second world war stuff are extremely dodgy but there are many forums on how to improve them. There is very little that I need to do on this high Centurion to make it look museum quality. Um sorry about the speech impediment. I don’t Overdub you get what you see if you don’t like it you don’t really have to watch it. I’m glad you find my videos are okay. Im looking forward to seeing your contribution to the community, Happy New Year.

      @ Perhaps it can be told. It was 1967. Most of us had seen The Great Escape. The idea had been to dig an escape tunnel to get out of school. This was a bad idea on three counts 1) it was easier just to use the school exit 2) the tunnel had been discovered and collapsed 3) it didn’t go under the boundary wall but described a large semi circle. However it had been a very heroic effort by previous school kids being about forty yards long. Around the scrub like land were scores of short planks of about a metre each. An egalitarian decision was made: each pupil was entitled to five planks. Instead of tunnelling at one end of the collapsed tunnel most of us dug a large hole and throne room beyond that. It was roofed over with planks and clods of earth. The throne room had a dirt throne fashioned as a step. Duly named Manor House, the Lord of the Manor, Titch Jones sat on his thrown and held court. This wasn’t really my thing so I started digging out an alternative den at the other end of the collapsed trench. Finding more planks I was able to go ‘over quota’ on the Finder’s Keepers rule. It was going ok at about 6 out of 10. A gang of One. Titch Jones fulfilled his aristocratic position by directing refinements to Manor House which was a very impressive structure with what would be called an ‘eco roof’ of living turf. Two or three Manor House defectors joined me and the first of these, Curas argued that it deserved a name. It was christened Tank 5. Withdrawal of Curas’ five planks from Manor House didn’t threaten its integrity but a sudden rebellion at Manor House collapsed the main chamber. With further defections to Tank 5, war was inevitable. Divided roughly equally Manor House threw clods of earth at Tank 5 and we returned fire. The clods burst on contact with the ground in a very satisfying way with added vocal sounds of ‘Pwwwch!’ and ‘Boffff!’ adding to the effect. With about 60% of the theoretical maximum membership, Curas sought directions from me. Tunnelling began in all directions radiating like spokes of a wheel. Tank 5 developed a turret out of pooled planks. I thought that things were going rather well. However after about three more sessions, much to my surprise, Curas put his head through the roof shouting loudly ‘I JUST CAN’T STAND THISSSS’. And so Manor House and Tank 5 both fell. In my line of work the animation of Manor House was ‘Hierarchical Reasoning’ which triggered its downfall much like Putin’s will be. Tank 5 thrived on Individualistic Reasoning, augmented by the Enclaved pleasure of exchanging fire with Manor House. Alas it couldn’t last. Surveying the wreckage of Tank 5, I accepted with Fatalism that there could be no undoing of what had already been undone. The Great Escape was forgotten and we graduated to making exotic space craft from sprues and randomised Airfix plastic parts. And so tensions grew between the SPAF air force and the LLAFF air force…

    Wow, i have one of the first snow leopards ever produced(1999 i think) and its in great condition. It has the ancient 27 mhz system with a single circuit board (#TK-01)....My old circuit board is bad and i cannot find a replacement board anywhere. Would love to upgrade this dinosaur to any newer type system that is out there but have no idea where to find any of this stuff at a price that is worth the retrofit. I imagine updating it to a newer receiver with the appropriate wiring connectors and transmitter would likely cost more than buying a whole new tank. Sincerely wish i had the components that you likely have just lying around in your shop to get this old tank up an running again. Do you have any older systems that you no longer use that you would be interested in selling? This fellow tank enthusiast could really use your expertise and insight. Excellent vid!

    I was actually just about to do the bearing mod and I've come to realize there are no screws in those six spots that are holding the body together. When I shined a light in them, there was only a hole leading to solid plastic.

Elmod do an adaptor to make it plug and play, I wonder if it would work on the Clark board? I’ve got to get another Clark board and see, also to program it you need a fricking Sony tv remote! Why can’t he do a program on the computer to change setting. Good luck! If you get it all working let me know 🙂
