in the Tiger 1 it has a large bike sprocket mounted to the turret
going through the Lazy-Susan and into the top hull. from there, a regular bike
chain to a wiper motor (wired for it's slow speed).
since this picture was taken, i have removed the sprocket, chain and motor
so other work could be done to the upper hull and not get in the way or get
bumped around. it will be going back in over the next few weeks once i get
things mounted into the lower hull as i need to find a new location for the
wiper motor as it protrudes into the lower hull space where other items
currently need to go
this picture better shows how it doesn't quite fit into the upper hull of
this Tiger (mind you, this Tiger is 1:7 scale)
with this arrangement, the Turret turns at a nice speed, not too fast, not
too slow. but when i get to putting in the electronics, i'm going to be using a
ESC rather than a momentary switch so i can have finer control over it if need
be
