There's some footage on our Facebook page, I made one video of us battling with smaller 1:24 IR tanks, and in the second part my 1:16 T-34 drives around as well in our make-shift battlefield: https://www.facebook.com/100008219410945...741713114/ @Blowsmoke: At 3:50 I shoot it once (at myself), but it's too far to see the bullet fly. On our Facebook page I have some pics where I test the shooting in my garden, there you can see them fly better. The mic on the VTX also ensures you hear hits on your own tank, which is important if we want to do combat. https://www.facebook.com/100008219410945...SEARCH_BOX https://www.facebook.com/100008219410945...ater&ifg=1 Still waiting for more friends to join up though. We only started with RC tanks in november 2019, and I started exploring FPV tanks since January. But we're bound to have a blast :-) Posts: 1,798 Threads: 57 Likes Received: 254 in 227 posts Likes Given: 102 Joined: Aug 2019 Reputation: 12 (23-Mar-2020, 08:10 AM)Spiff Wrote: Heya!

But we're bound to have a blast :-) lmfao did you put the audio afterward to the video or does it make that noise when you shoot? And does it really shake like that when you shoot? HOW does it shake like that lolol it looks like it's actually shooting haha that's ridiculous ;D 'Ignore' is the route word of Ignorant. • Posts: 23 Threads: 5 Likes Received: 22 in 6 posts Likes Given: 0 Joined: Feb 2020 Reputation: 0 23-Mar-2020, 08:19 AM (This post was last modified: 23-Mar-2020, 08:20 AM by Spiff.)

HOW does it shake like that lolol it looks like it's actually shooting haha that's ridiculous ;D The tank has a built in speaker. BB RC tanks move back and forth quickly when shooting to simulate recoil, which is actually nonsense because 35 ton tanks don't really move thàt much when shooting a 85mm round, but it's a very cool effect :-) IR tanks have retracting barrels when shooting. • Posts: 20 Threads: 1 Likes Received: 9 in 7 posts Likes Given: 9 Joined: Feb 2020 Reputation: 0 (23-Mar-2020, 08:10 AM)Spiff Wrote: Heya!

Have fun with that, sounds like it'll be a great group. I've watched a few of these vids on YT the past week, very nice gaming simulations . . .

I totally agree, it's very intense, and you experience the terrain entirely differently. I made a new video of some driving in my yard and shooting some targets, also with footage of the tank from 2 camcorder setups: • Posts: 20 Threads: 1 Likes Received: 9 in 7 posts Likes Given: 9 Joined: Feb 2020 Reputation: 0 Very cool, good to see some of the other camera action filming too, thanks.
