Show and Tell / 1/10 Soviet AT-T

« on: February 28, 2025, 09:29:18 PM »

Hello everyone,

Decided to revisit an idea I had many years ago. I have had lots of fun playing around with 1/10 scale crawlers but always wondered how something tracked would compare.
After seeing a render of this beast on ArtStation I contacted the designer and he provided me with the mesh files to use as a reference.
The model will feature belt drive units with two speeds and neutral, sound, smoke, lights and a winch.
I hope to use one of the onboard motor drivers of the TCB to control the winch, and hopefully somehow control the servo for the gear select also.
I have been trying to make this model more repairable then my T-35 which is a bit of a shelf queen. All components have been designed to lift straight out (pogo pins for the decks) and I even plan to separate the drive units from the output shafts.
I am nearly complete the preliminary cad work and am almost ready to start printing!

Show and Tell / 3D Printed T-35

Hello everyone, here I will post what I have going for my first tank build as well as my adventures with the TCB.

I will start by showing off my possibly unique TCB.

I ordered my TCB from HobbyKing on October 8th, 2017 as I figured de soldering some MOSFETs was not beyond me.
I received it some time later and have been playing around with the components I do have, the Saber tooth driver, my HL motors and a bunch of servos, all work well.
After reading the recent project status post warning of HobbyKings continued defects, I had a look at my board.

It seems I do not have the dreaded "23EG" chips, but instead have "GFDMR" with no obvious signs of hand soldering.
So far, when the board is powered without the transmitter, I get flashing of LEDs on the L1,L2,BRK & MG ports.

Im still new to this hardware, but I think we should not entirely give up on HK just yet!
I will include a close up picture of my board for you folks to have a look at.
