WIP- Radio controlled land raider!

[Lazarus]

the one i just got will be the one you need to a baneblade i have seen a few of the WIPS and they are using that tank i just posted in my last post.

Same guy who is selling the shermans is selling them, or you can by mine for $50 and i will go buy a sherman like i should of in the first place..

I am so keen to start this RC land Raider but i hate waiting on parts

Simon Chk out this guys pics he has done the baneblade with that tank i just bought

does it shoot BB bullets and has a smoke launcher?

[Lazarus]

**************Completed***************

Thanks Simon for starting this off.

Here is my complete Land Raider with head lights and shooting guns, i was unable to get the HB turret to move round like Simon's, but was all glued up to fix up once i found out how to do it, Also the HB do shot also but due to the head lights being so bright you cant see.

Over all took be about 20hours to build, will be completing the paint job as soon as i go down to GW and get some paint.

Here is a video about 4.30 Min's long but should make you happy.

Over and out until the land raider Mrk 2 comes.

looks awesome man, i'm still waiting for my god dan LEds to arrive from post!

[Fujin]

Should lower the gear ratio - then you won't be accidentally running over people's models on the table.

Land Raiders - competing with Ferrari for the A1 GP. That thing really moves!

[Lazarus]

no can do people should be happy something like this was done and not nit picking at some of the unreal things, come on warhammer is not real or do some think it is. 

[Fujin]

It's great Matt - really impressive. I just think there's going to be more tank-shock than you're planning if you put it on the field

[Lazarus]

I made it just coz i could and needed something to do i don't like land raiders on the table cost to much in points just a nice little toy to take around and show to people.

[Simon]

hi just wondering what is the rating of your LEDs? the MCD value? did u put 4 in serial with 100ohms resistance? those LEDS look VERY bright!

the voltage on the circuit for the leds is around 5V? how did u so get so much power for your LEds? did u bridge directly from the battery itself??

[Lezle]

Looks great Matt! Those LEDs are rather bright aren't they!

  Don't listen to Dave, he's a teacher, all he knows is bitching. Haha. 

I do agree though; it will be way to fast to play with on the table, but if you just wish to run it round the floor or to break other peoples models, its speed will be more than ample! 

Great work. What are you going to paint it like? Ultra Marines?

-LP

[Lazarus]

think they are 3500mcd, running direct from the on/off switch, with a 110ohn resistor but i recon go up to 150 maybe 200 as the 110 are getting slightly warm but not that hot to melt the plastic.

All In serial with resistor yes to bright but i new they would be but very good at night driving around, was going to run the off a 2nd switch so i could have them on and off but forgot to but a switch when i was at jaycar so i did not bother.

[Simon]

ok, so u have 4 in serial with a 110ohm resistor?

i think the leds i ordered are 4500mcd... and i don't know why the hell they are still not here yet..

[Lazarus]

they are going to be really bright ha ha worse than mine, one resistor per led thats how i like to wire them you could be cheap and run like 4 in parallel to save you resistors but at 60c for 8 why bother.

I always hate having to order stuff and wait i always find it easyer just to drive and pick it up, pluss jaycar 2 mins from my work in taka.

[Simon]

rewired everything, shorten all the wires..


removed extended body.


~~ LEDS arrived and installed..

[Sguighunter]

looks awesome

[Lazarus]

did you see the rear of mine i has the modifyed rear end but i did not need to enlarge it like you did, go down to hobby city and buy some 0.5mm styrene sheets about $7, make the rear end angle down as normal then make the rear end flat and glue over and use some styrene piping to make it look like it should be like that, mine is not 50% painted and i should be able to get some good close up pics soon, i am out of a digy cam so my cheap $20 web cam is hard to get some good pics.

Simon will you be at battle cry if show we should bring ours in and compare and see if we can improve on the models.

I see you put in the speaker have you heard the sounds they are really shit

I see you bought blue leds also not white lights, look just as bright but white looks a little cleaner.

[Lazarus]

No Update yet Simon. ??

[Simon]

all assembled and undercoated, rdy to paint...
i just don't have to time to paint it..

[Simon]

u painted your landraider yet Lazarus ?


i saw the new shadowsword coming out this month, i'm planning to turn it into RC tank that shoots BBs...

i bought the m3a1 tank but the BB's cannon is too big to fit inside a baneblade.. and the banebalde cannon is too short to project the bb.

[Lazarus]

Yup mines all done, took to battlecry to drive around haha.

[Simon]

matt, u know where to get plastic/metal adjustable tank track in NZ? i'm trying to find the right track for my baneblade

[Lazarus]

would not know the only tank tracks i know of are with that tamia kit think you can get at jay car or hobby city.

[Gratnuk Ironfist]

Wow! Having a raider that you can actually control, this completey blows that transforming ork trukk out of the water.

[Lazarus]

I will be starting my 2nd RC land raider this week making a crusader this time, i think simon has been side tracked by his warhammer and not posted any updates for a while.

[Simon]

yeah, got side tracked, busy with fantasy at the moment. but i'm slowly building my radio control baneblade and ork stompa...
