Tiger 1 with New King Tiger gearboxes
since Tamiya introduced new type gear-boxes with the New Sherman , New King Tiger and the Pershing ,
and these new type gear-boxes seam to be a better design ,
it's now also an option to use these new type gear-boxes in the Tiger 1....
I had plant to use the same type gear-reductions I made fore the King Tiger to use in the Tiger 1...
well, it turned out that this will not work ,
because of space-limitations depending what type battery's are used in the Tiger 1 ..
so I had to come up with a new design gear-reduction for the new type gear-boxes if used in a Tiger 1
here now the first photos ( proto-type )
to see more installation details go here :
the motor's shown in these photos are new motor's , I just got from Germany ....
these motor's have about 15% lower RPM's as the stock Mabuchi 380's
and should also produce some more torque because of that "Stator-ring"
a Stator-ring gives an electric motor a stronger magnet-field
I will post soon some test-results of these motor's ....
so far I just checked them on my motor-dyno ...................
I know that quite a few guy's use the Zagi-motor's ,
but by the Zagi-motor's I received,
I could not see a significant change in the RPM's compared to stock Mabuchi 380 motor's..........
so far it looks to me that these "black-motor's with Stator-ring"
are the better choice for a lower RPM 380 size motor............
now available also motor-pinion's with 10 / 11 / 12 and 14 teeth with set-screw's ( no press-fit )
( see the brass-pinion's on these black motor's ) ...
this should make it now easier to exchange motor's....................
