GIANT TANK DESTROYER: FIRST DRIVE! FERDINAND ELEFANT ARMORTEK All Metal 1/6 Scale | RC ADVENTURES
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 дек 2018
- 240 LBS of ALL METAL! This is our "Tanks for Ten Years" MEGA BUILD, celebrating our show "RC ADVENTURES" being produced for the last decade on RUclips. The vehicle featured today is an "ARMORTEK" ELEFANT, modelled from a WW2 Ferdinand Elefant Tank Destroyer. This was a KIT that we have been building for the last 10 videos, and today we get to drive this machine for the first time. It is outfitted with dual "car batteries", in series at 24v. This tank is ALL ELECTRIC, direct drive running on Dual 24v motors, with a 16:1 gear reduction. My kit has the optional SMOKE generator, though I did not turn it on today. The sound kit is also installed, along with a "recoil kit" for the barrel.
I got the kit here: www.armortek.co.uk
I have not finished the weathering & paint on this tank.. though I will not be doing a "traditional" paint job replicating the German side of WW2. Instead, we are using this tank as a multi-purpose "Mad-Max" / Police Enforcement vehicle.. that can be used in many styles of video.
This build, in total.. is about $10,000 CAD / $6500 USD
A heavy price tag to entertain my friends, and our viewers - but what an absolute BLAST, and AMAZING WAY TO CELEBRATE! This series has been Fantastic, and a wonderful experience :)
I would like to send a special shout out to my team, and my Dad (who drove in from another province to help!), for working diligently with me every weekend for the last 2 months. Thank you for all of your time, energy and creative abilities shared with me, and our viewers!! Building and filming on camera for thousands of people to see is an intimidating and difficult thing to wrap one's head around. Congratulations my friends.. this build was EPIC!! I know the viewers certainly enjoyed this series very much..!

Imagine making a bunch more models with this level of functionality and fitting them to fire paint balls or simulation munitions and having tank battles.
Good frickin idea
That Will be a good idea.
But well shit cost money too .
Would of worked for Kursk
Real rounds.
I was thinking real ammo or bbs
10:27 seriously, without anything in the background to provide scale, this TOTALLY looks like a full sized vehicle!
Awesome work!

Siloyd
Maus.............next...........pls............
Finally an elephant without engine fires
the downside, gun shoots enlightening lights
I'm surprised the transmission didn't break within a few meters XDDD
No, you can buy an accessory engine fire kit!
I'd imagine a 22 magnum round would scale nicely with that cannon LOL
Norman Mattson
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
pfffft ......22 magnum lmfao maybe in an m2 stuart... try a 45/70 for this guy, or even better 8mm mauser.
.22 Hornet would be better ;)
Its a 1/6 scale so 88mm divoded by 6 would be 14.6 so a russian 14.5mm would be the correct calliber to use for scale also the real gun could penetrate 237mm of armor so at 1/6 that would be 39mm so a 14.5mm (PTRD anto tank rifle) would fir that as well
And that small machine gun shoots 1000 small pellets.
WE DID IT!! SHARE AND COMMENT! Thanks for 10 Years on RUclips, Everyone :) #RCAdventures #RCSparks #morefuntocome

RCSparks Studio YOU MEAN TANKS FOR 10 YEARS
now it needs some camo paint.
and needs the canvas cover around barrel mounting.
3:16
Ah yes, the Ferdinand breaking down.
*Just like the simulations.*
John
Girl: "what kind of Porsche do you have!?"
Guy: "yes"
A 8.8mm one baby
@@sethgagliano316 8.8 mm is very small, do you mean 88mm?
Porsche was in on the building of the Mouse to .
The one fire Porsche because it always lights on fire
@@sethgagliano316 88 ;)
Amazing! Loved the ending! Congrats, all of you! Team work and team spirit all through the build 😍
Nais
Bonjour je vous remercie par la
As someone who spent 24 1/2 years on tanks I can tell you to NEVER do a pivot stear on loose dirt or sand, especially with an unsupported track. You'll throw track for sure and tear up your suspension.
Loved the ending. We used to drive over brush fires to put them out.
3:27 crew: the ferdinand is stuck again!
Sir, there's an angry mob of soviets all around us throwing molotovs!

boys will be boys, glad you like our vintage - cheers with beers from germany
Ferdinand Porsche would be proud
Me too.

@@grzybowy1680 English is not my first language, but thank you for the correction though.
What a monumental moment for RCSPARKS!!!!!👏👏👏 Congratulations on an amazing build and thank you for the years of excellent videos.👍👍 your channel has been badass since the beginning. 😎
Pls make a sound: Hans ze transmission is Broken!
Why?
Because this German tank work with 3 engine (2 gasoline use as generator in front and 1 electric as transmission) and the electric engine is really not reliable and broke most of the time.
À lot of tank where abandoned before they see any combat because of this shit
@@lagalilalligator8256 was actually a pretty ingenious design for its time, just too complicated/fragile for such a heavy vehicle. Most german (mid-late war)tanks had transmission issues due to inadequate transmissions for the weight/size/complexity of the vehicles. This inadequacy would lead to numerous breakdowns that were difficult if not impossible to repair without pulling the vehicle off the front to send it to a factory for repair.
Battlefield 5?
ProfessionalGamerPhil lll
the engine sound, how it changed in real time is the icing on the cake, really is an amazing machine!
10:35 what it feels like to play tanks in Battlefield
*7 nation army intensifies*
8:53 look life size and it looks like there’s a mountain
Well I must say thats pretty dang awesome for an E-word machine. Its so great to see grown men laugh and feel joy from RC! Im huge into RC and thats one reason I enjoy it so much is it really brings out the kid in my 42 year old self haha! Great vid bro!
One of the most epic things I’ve ever seen
Glad I stayed up after work and decided to watch RUclips lol

That is so frickin awesome guys! Definitely your best build series by far Aaron. Thanks for the past 10 years my friend looking forward to more.
I would kill to have half the “toys” you have
Everything about this tank is awesome.... but the fiery outro was killer! Loved it!
THAT THING IS INSANE BROTHER!!! The last shot through the fire was so war retro. Amazing job guys!
This is the classic saying you can always tell the men from the boys from the size of their toys! What a DEADLY tank Medic thanks for the build series 👍 Can’t what for upcoming videos 👏👏👏🍺🍺

@@pataubotik1380 ok
Поддерживаю полностью, модель вообще супер.
That's AWESOME, dude! Your tank is a BEAST! You're lucky it survived the fire. It was cool that the kid was riding on it. Now THAT'S heavy metal there. I really like it.
Amazing. The sound effects are perfect!
Holly smokes! It's alive and its going to destroy tanks!
(Get it? Tank destroyer? Ey? I'll go back to my corner now.)
My corner is just across the street from his.
That's it a test drive in the snow and mud just like they did for real .
Ferdinand Porsche would be proud
A German tank destroyer made by Porsche, the sports car everyone wants.
😁👍Awesome! that last shot was the money shot! BEAUTY! 10:34

Me: I want your entire stock
Incredible build, and a super bunch of cool dudes working on it. Great jokes. Really enjoyed following all parts of the build.
Man what an awesome frickin day guys.
Sluicebox Steve So cool !!
Hey bro Merry Christmas n thanks for stopping by the hangouts last night, U guys built one hell of a machine!
@@rookie101_ missed you being there buddy
Make it shoot paintballs
its supposed to have neutral steering where one track went forward and one went in reverse to help it turn better
if i get drafted into ww3 im takin this.
lol
Oh, I am sooooo envious, man! WTG ♥
My god this is amazing lol
Agreed.
Congratulations Aaron and the crew! Both on the build and on the 10 years!
A Very happy holiday season to you, kind Sir!! Thank you for all of your support this year.. and for helping make this show happen!
Wow! that is AWESOME.
Absolutely AWESOME ALL metal Tank, Respect you have a hell of a job with that Tank.
Comgrats on your nice new Porsche sir!
The Porsche Ferdinand turned out to be a POS. Hitler had some MODS done to it and renamed it the elephant.
Is that the 88mm gun or the 128mm gun.
lol
@@kens32052 88mm, ferdinand (or elephant) never had 128mm gun, its PaK 43 ;)
The little soldier sitting on the tank in the beginning looks like he was shrunk down to size!! So REAL looking! Especially @ 2:03
Man also Runs like a real Ferdinand
Seen this in my feed with Matt and a mini tank! Found myself saying, "Oh God Matt, what are up to now."
OH my god that is the sweetest build YET !!!! TANKS for bringing the rest of us along for the ride ! to bad rookie couldn't be there . Merry Christmas to you and yours .
Dude... HELL YEAH!!!! This thing is so sick and I couldn’t stop smiling seeing how much fun you guys were having and how proud y’all were of this beast that you guys built!! Super stoked to see more adventures with this thing and maybe y’all can build some other WWll vehicles like maybe a half track truck or a Jeep or maybe even a sidecar motorcycle. Just a suggestion but either way I love it bro!! Great job Medic , Crazy Joe, Everett, And sluice box.. And Rookie!! Thank you for sharing this with us all!!!
I love you
Легко!!!😁
រេត
Gi Jo is having a blast driving it !!
The weather is so perfect too.. as they march on stallingard ..
La séquence vidéo de la fin, avec les flammes est très réaliste. Bravo !.
Bloody awesome! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Dude! That is flipping awesome!!!! You are my hero! Wow, literally just ordered my FIRST RC Tank TODAY. My first real RC ever in life....im 53. Crazy nuts.
Nice tank
Nice tank
First time I've ever seen live action tank work that was awesome great job guys made me feel like an oversized can I was in company F 40th armored Berlin Brigade. And that tank just blew my mind awesome job
Armored Berlin Brigade?
So my neighbors probably have seen im in a wheelchair, but I wonder what they would do if they seen me pull out of my garage with this beast, me sitting in the back of it, I think Detroit Swat would be here in seconds, but man that would be totally worth it, their reactions would be priceless
STEVO D 313 your one state over merry Christmas
@@MoBay876rc Merry Christmas to u too bro
actiontrackchair.com the future is now my friend.
*Drives onto snow for first time*
Hans, Vhe made it to Stalingrad!”
😨😄😅😃(/-\)
The 8 other T-34-85's that was forced to kill it:
*You've reached the end of the road.*
Which Stalingrad,? I hope it's not the east, coz that's where I belong
impressed with the pick of tank model.not many people even know this thing actually existed.
Ferdinand Porsche approves. Must go to bed, I got to go to work tomorrow but i have to see an RC "Elefant" drive through fire first :D
Watching this made my day!! WOW
Now that's A Beast of an RC Tank Destroyer!
This is among the best I have ever seen keep them going, great detail and sound.
Imagine having that cool dad who lets you ride his tank! his friends must be hella jealous.
That's great. I want to see it crush stuff. Beer cans maybe. Smash some pumpkins perhaps. Destroy something!
Just remember, the natural enemy of the Ferdi are inclines, even slight ones
Awesome!!
Speechless...
The sound completes it. Sounds awesome
wow such an amazing build.
Amazing tank I have wvee seen!!
That was the coolest thing I've ever seen!🤘
What a masterpiece and a beautiful build too. Thanks for posting this as well. Have a nice day.
"Why is the transmission blowing up?"
"Historical accuracy"
you should put that beast up against the judge and see how much it pulls lol
With like a hundred pounds
But yeah would be cool
yes
for a second i dident know what you were talking about
That's gotta happen ....please medic.....put it to the test
That thing is incredible! !
RC ATHLETES hvh
Love The Ferdinand!! Though the sound effects are ... funny to say at least. Personally would prefer just have an engine sound, but hey... To each his own. ;)
That is amazing! Holy cow! Bravo to you guys for this custom build!!
You guys did it congrats
Greetings from Germany! I love this tank and specially the size!
What a beast! absolutely brilliant
1:00 frankly speaking, the tank looks super cool in this angle.
