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....................
