Fully functional radio controlled model of Merkava Mk IV
Can be turned into stand model by using plastic gearbox rod (attached in archive)

Manual, electronics │Live preview | Video

Based on Heng Long TK-7.1. Does not support BB unit.
supported:
- engines \ gearboxes (plastic / metallic)
- turret rotation
- canon lifting
- smoke
- x2 40mm speakers
- front lights
- brake lights
- fully functional suspension
- rubbered wheels (you can print rubber tires separately)
- springs: 0.6x(5...10)x20mm
- elevation and recoil with SG90 servos

Some numbers:
scale: 1/16
width: 220mm
length: 460mm
height: 180mm
weight: 2,750 g
required printer area: 180x180

NOTE: with latest update you need to mount front glacis first, and after that bottom of the hull.

Please contact us on Discord in case of any troubles

3D printing settings

Printed with 0.2mm nozzle, 0.3 and 0.4 can also be used with 0.2mm layer height

IMPORTANT!!!
225mm height - is required printing area if you have 180x180 because of enormous size of turret. And the only way to print it - to rotate vertically.

~/hull/alternative_bottom folder contains alternative variant that can be printed more easier with almost no post processing, but build is more complicated.

ALSO IMPORTANT:
1. Track links are super tiny an it's easy to break it, be carefull. No information regarding how can it be printed with 0.4mm nozzle
2. Upper hull sections have special teeth for side protectors, and it needs to be printed with support, check it before you started to print it.
