Handsome!!
Looking foward to see this beast running!!
It's looking super good!!!
Nice work and looking foward to see this tank fully operationnal!!!
It's sure proof that 3d printing is the new way to make things!!
Do your turret is entirely 3d printed??? It's looking so nice as the original casted one...!!!!

By "stress test", I think he means something like driving full speed over an obstacle that generates a lot of dynamic stress on the parts, such as in this video:
Driving on flat surfaces with a heavy load is a good test, but driving into and over things at full speed is the ultimate test of a vehicle :--)

Very impressive!! Nice work and you are very lucky to get side by side with the real thing!!

Painting of my Centurion in progress. I have the fortune to visit a garage where old retried tank crews are holding some old tanks in mint condition. They get out to shoot ones a year, and precipitate in shows around Denmark. On my wisit i got 5 liters of the original green color with me , to use on my Centurion mrk 5. Tery loved my tank, and i have promised to come back when i am are finis building it ;.)

Everything hold up wherry good-I have broken a road wheel onse and 2 suspensions arms. But it is easy just to print a new spare part. My traks are spray paintet flat black, and i hope that the paint will wear off on the part that tutces the ground, and on the sprocket. It will give a more realistic look.

Gawd I am so jealous, that is looking fantastic. Looks like a 3d printer is definitely a handy tool for this hobby. Just a small question, how is your swing arm for the idler wheel going to work cause I was thinking of using the same kind of system for the m113

I agree that this tank looks GORGEOUS!
And the concept of 3D printing application to the RC large scale vehicle is enticing
However, I will follow the advice of the “old timers” of RC Tank Combat, the Pitelli “clan”, Professor Sommers, or Tyng Tech prodigy: It’s all in the ‘donut’ turns on grass!
This is not the beautiful RC Tanks that I commission-build for customers which can pass this test. RC Tank Combat is the next step up in engineering and ingenuity to survive the Gettysburg test for 2 days in a row…
I’m impatiently waiting your trial runs
I would also be “pained” to shoot such a beautiful vehicle!
BTW, did you test the .68cal paintball hits on 3D printed parts? I have a 3D printer using ABS filament, and I don’t think it could take a point-blank hit.
Cheers,
Loic

You need to send a message directly to Frank Pitteli with the info of your tank ( name , model, front armor thickness, canon size in mm ), he will send you your login infos for the webs site!!...

I have no one to fight with so far-I have a fiend , that are making the same Centurion-I made alle the 3D printet parts for him. Most of the printet parts are hided under the side skirts-Wits are made of 1.5 mm steel plate. And alot og my parts have 100 % infil-And then they are bulletproof.And if a part break-I can easily print a new one.--No one answered my question on hov to get my Centurion on this site http://www.rctankcombat.com/order-of-battle/tanks/

What are you printing, Loic? My Locust survived a two-day event using 3D printed idlers and TTS sprockets. Both the idlers and sprockets took hits with no visible damage. My mantlet was also 3D printed and took a LOT of hits over the weekend. It had a layer of fiberglass reinforcement on it, but it didn't show any damage either.
I believe that 3D printing has a lot of uses in RCTC, but there are some things that it just isn't isn't suitable for. For example, I tried 3D printing suspension units for my Locust. (there are some pics in a past thread) Initial results looked promising, but long term durability just wasn't there. The constant stress of a 50lb. tank on the printed parts eventually broke many of the suspension units.
On the flip side there are some cool capabilities that these printers put forth. The illustration I'll use for this point is my Locust turret. For one thing, the Locust is a small tank, but it's turret is equally small. (about 8.5in in dia. plus the little storage area in the back) To get a nice accurate turret without the inside being bulky I designed the turret on a CAD program and then printed it in three pieces. After gluing the pieces together I fiberglassed it. This gave me a nice durable turret that didn't waste the limited internal space available.

Love it! Can you change the way the aim looks? Would love to put a German OPTICS scale like the real tank! It would allow for quick judging for distance and you could score some long shots!!

Great work Niels,
I noticed you run on asphalt. Would love to see your tank run in grass.
Also, could you take a picture of your tracks after your running? Those donuts turns are hard on plastic. Is this PLA or other polycarbonates?
Your tank looks awesome
Cheers from Utah,
Loic
