Thanks to all of you for the likes. I should point out that while many, will most actually of RC armor's followers run electric powered models and go to great lengths to have them sound
like the full size machine I don't do that with my 1/10 scale models. My active 1/10 scale
models are all powered by model engines; small glow powered engine. Actually the power to weight ratio of my Panthers for example is very close to that of the full size machine.
The Panther ( A ) in the photo above weighs about 70-75 pounds and the Webra 6,5ccom /.40cid engine puts out about .8 bhp on a good day at 14,000rpm - however I never run mine at full power or overly lean.
Below is a video of one of them running. Now I'll warm those of you who will expect the sound of a Maybach 22l v12 - it isn't going to happen! What you will hear is the sound of a small glow engine. Due to constraints of available space and heat considerations there is only so much that may be done to attenuate the sound....
Just so you know....
