Armortek 1/6 Universal carrier first test

This metallic model weights about 30 pounds, maneuver as easy as a plastic one.
Modified using the two original Armortek supplied electric motors to twin motors operation connecting 2 x 90 degrees Bevel gear box for output, using Armorpax steel rod pins and Phil's "Vixen" sprocket rings to link up the tracks.
Flysky Paladin PL18 EV transmitter with one hand on one single stick operation via 'tank mixing function' to control both left and right tracks' forward and backward movements.
Also changed to use Beier Double sound-speed controller SFR-1-D unit for better control of speed and sound as well as lights.
This is the first running test so more work is needed to add in details for the carrier, also more to do with the programming of head and arm movements and etc for Churchill Creation's animation figures.

That is so cool! Armortek makes some great stuff! Thanks for sharing!

Great job! My father used one of these great little carriers in 1944. He used to take it out on unofficial little trips out into enemy lines to 'recover items' from the Germans!
Armortek have recently got my attention! 😉

Hey Johnny , same with my dad he trained on these with the Cheshire Regiment WW2 . I think you and I should do a pincer movement and pinch that carrier, better we should play with it mate 😁👍

@@airbornesoldier8104 Excellent! My dad was in the Heavy Artillery and ran about in a Scammell Gun Tractor pulling a 7.2 Howitzer. He lost most of his kit when the RAF and USAF bombed him and took out a Polish tank regiment, made worse by the German's having a go as well. He would have loved seeing one of these little machines running about!
