Hi folks, sorry to crash the party but you seem to know what you're doing!

As a change from my normal hobbies I bought a 1/16 Tiger Full Option kit on eBay. I have little modelling skill (not built a model in 25 years!) and am completely ham-fisted when it comes to painting but for a number of reasons I’d like to make a good job of it.

After going through the posts on this forum I’ve picked up a few tips and much inspiration, there are some seriously talented people here! I’ve picked up metal tracks, replacement barrel and recoil upgrade from BYA and am considering the suspension upgrade as well.

I’ve also noted a few recommendations of the Zagi (and possibly Graupner) Speed 400 motors when metal track are used. Could anyone with either motor tell me exactly which motors they have (model no?), also did you get a left/right pair or reverse one yourself? I think I’ve found a source in the UK but they need a bit more information than I can give them

Is there a summary of the mods/tweaks/fixes you guys have done anywhere? I’m especially keen on anything that would make it more robust/realistic as a working model.

Apologies if this post is a breach of etiquette but this seems the best source of information on the net for this kit! Any and all comments appreciated.

Welcome to the forum Steve. You could always look through the 1/16 Tiger group build for any tips that may be there. I’m sure somewhere in the 1300 + posts there is something useful.

Wow, What a kit to get back into the hobby on.

It could be a bit much as a return.

Go for it, Steve! [;)]

Take care,
Frank

On the Zagi motors it is not hard to reverse it all you do is put the negitive wire on the positive side and the positive wire on the negitive side. That is if you are talking about the Zagi 400 Radio Controlled Aircraft. That would be a good start.

Sorry folks, I am an idiot! I meant this to go in the Tiger build group, finger trouble.
