GIANT TANK DESTROYER: FIRST DRIVE! FERDINAND ELEFANT ARMORTEK All Metal 1/6 Scale | RC ADVENTURES. (TOP 10 RC Tanks for Sale, Best RC Tanks for Sale, Radio Control Tanks Scale Model)

All RC Tanks on Earth (Full Series)

Online social commentary (media commentary):

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 YouTube. 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: http://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.
"10:27 seriously, without anything in the background to provide scale, this TOTALLY looks like a full sized vehicle! Awesome work!
" I'd imagine a 22 magnum round would scale nicely with that cannon LOL
"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.
" the engine sound, how it changed in real time is the icing on the cake, really is an amazing machine!
"Hello fellow RC enthusiasts. Discovered your channel two days ago and I can¡¯t stop watching. I don¡¯t R/C all the time. I own four pretty rowdy brushless racers. However scale stuff has been calling my name for a while. After seeing your videos. I would pay to enter the loading battles. Man sooo awesome.

Now to boot you guys have a chemistry between your buddies that sure makes me wish I was part of that.

My buddy Bob runs R/C Dungeon on FB and YT. He eat sleeps and breathes R/C¡¯s. I shared the videos with him. He¡¯s been doing crawlers the last couple years. However he has me of nearly everything. Motorcycles to tanks to boats. Anyway. Thank you for sharing videos.

You guys are inspiring me to start acquiring some scale equipment.
" 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.
Amazing! Loved the ending! Congrats, all of you! Team work and team spirit all through the build
Incredible build, and a super bunch of cool dudes working on it. Great jokes. Really enjoyed following all parts of the build.
"3:16 Ah yes, the Ferdinand breaking down.

Just like the simulations.
" THAT THING IS INSANE BROTHER!!! The last shot through the fire was so war retro. Amazing job guys!
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!
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.
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.
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.
What a masterpiece and a beautiful build too. Thanks for posting this as well. Have a nice day.
Awesome! At 6:50 and 10:35, without scaling, it looked real! Thank you for sharing.
"Awesome video. Really love the build and finish of your Elefant.

What type of radio are you using to control the tank? Do you have make/model #?
" 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 .
Being an amateur WWll historian I was thrilled to stumble across this video today. Now I need to look up the video record of this build. Awesome is greatly overused these days but this project is more than awesome. Kudos guys. I am greatly impressed. Wow.
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!!!
That is absolutely amazing!!! I watched this with my kids and we were all picking our jaws up off the table.
Thanks for your awesome youtube channel! My kid is 8yr old now and we have been watching you channel many years and imagined together how cool this and that would be. Thank you also keeping commentary swearing free so my kid can watch the videos with the sounds! ;) Keep up the amazing work you do, and all the best for your family and friends! Greetings from Finland!
This is among the best I have ever seen keep them going, great detail and sound.
Ive seen lots of cool RC recreations with sound and all, but never one that seems to properly imitate the sound of an old diesel motor. Well done!
Everything about this tank is awesome.... but the fiery outro was killer! Loved it!
Wow was that just outstanding!! Can't decide which was cooler, Morris going for a ride, or running through the fire both was awesome, I watched the whole series it was a pleasure watching all of use putting it together I enjoyed it a lot. Man is it beautiful, guess I'll have to stick to my tiny trucks this is just out of my price range. Appreciate sharing hey Mary Christmas to everyone and your family keep it fine keep it safe until the next a venture
Incr¨ªvel!!! Parab¨¦ns pelo Tank!!!
GREAT VIDEO! It really looks very realistic, even for the tracks, i wish i can afford these kind of toys and play with them everyday
Absolutely stunning what was that 7k or more? The tracks are definitely a link or 2 short, there getting very tought when suspension arms dip just take care for a snap the power under it! It looks great in that raw steel finish bit looking forward to seeing the finished painted TD
WOW! Best rc tank I've seen! Always have had a fascination for tanks and in particular WWII Panzers. i still have a bunch of old Tamiya scale Panzer models in the basement that I made as a child. Awesome build and video!
Looks perfect! But I would add some mass , around 4500 g equilly spread over the chasis inside the tank... It moves too nimble compared to original one. Seeing original tank moving it really was obvious how heavy load it had on drive gear
Congratulations Aaron and the crew! Both on the build and on the 10 years!
Looks awesome! What a beast. First time on this channel. But one thing i got 2 say, the right track looks a bit loose. Keep up the good work!!
Absolutely fantastic!! Love it!!
That is one very nice tank. Very accurate. From everything to the suspension to the gun mantlet, it's all dead on. The price would have been though the roof.
dang, the way tank wheels work is awesome. I want to see you guys drive it over the dirt hills
Imagine having that cool dad who lets you ride his tank! his friends must be hella jealous.
Great job guys, the tanks looks amazing! Merry Christmas and tanks for the great video.
What an epic build. I learned with you guys during this build. Very impressive r/c, as always thanks so much for sharing!
Big TOYS for Big Boys !!! ALL Props to you and your friends.You guys did and OUTSTANDING JOB . TOTALLY BAD AND AWESOMENESS!! Thank you for entertaining us with the build.
"Very cool! With my background i can conceptualize most of the build, with the exception of the tracks. Would those have to be hand made link by link, or are they something that can be purchased? The only way this.could be more cool would be.to have it shoot real ammo even if its just rubber bullets. Either that or shoot steel bbs or airsoft. I love it!
" This guy has one of the coolest garages I've ever seen and models as well shits like heaven for a fanatic like me
It really is a beast excellent build I dread to think of the cost of buying one of these
I enjoyed following this awesome build. Congratulations on getting it on the ground. Merry Christmas
"This thing is so nice, I love it! Wish I had one. :) But the Scale seems a bit wrong, 1:6 would be actually 56 cm wide and 135 cm long compared to the original. Looks a bit smaller to me, but not any less cooler! ;) Greetings
" I'm 44 years old. Everytime I watch your show I feel like a kid for a little bit. I love my rc cars! Love this show!
Thats amazing. Its looks almost real running over the burning ground sequence. Really great. Ever tought about to build a Jagdpanther?
Espectacular tanque !!! Genial!!! Nos encant¨®
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
That's awesome....10 years on YT! Keep up the good work guys!
Amazing I use to watch this channel a couple years ago nice to see you guys still goin
Wow. Better than expected. Mo on top is icing on the the cake as it were. Congrats to the team. Oh, and a merry Christmas to all.
La escena final es totalmente incre¨ªble, felicidades y disfruta mucho ese Ferdinand!!!
Wow, that's awesome! Good job guys.
1:00 frankly speaking, the tank looks super cool in this angle.
Insanely cool. Great job guys.
Algo fabuloso .. la verdad una ingenieria poder lograr qu funcione asi tan perfecto , nunca vi cosa igual , un semejante destructor echo una maqueta , sorprende verlo funcionar tan bien . Muy bueno
Awesome group effort guys! Happy holidays to all of you
Frickin awesome. Great build and great video. Thanks for sharing :)
WE DID IT!! SHARE AND COMMENT! Thanks for 10 Years on YouTube, Everyone :) #RCAdventures #RCSparks #morefuntocome
"Well, quite a machine! I remember back in the day, when you first got your Losi 5ive a good 6 years back, and started to mod the hell out of it, just for a challenge. I have a suggestion for you. And we all know you might not turn down a good challenge! This is the TIGER P chassis, the running gear is same. So....with some effort you could transform this, or get a kit from Armortek and have the FIRST TIGER P in 1/6 , as i have not seen one on YT. Cheers and Happy holidays, Doc!!
" This is awesome! You should make a big obstacle course for it, that would be amazing
Wow fully loaded with options is around $7500 USA. That¡¯s nuts! I wonder how many they actually sell?
Looks awesome the only thing I would change would be the crew commander for a WW2 German commander. What are your plans for paint? Always enjoy the great content, Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Driving through the fire...gotta admit it...that was pretty cool! Thanks for the video!!
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
Now she needs a beautifully matched engine with power! Or a twin? This thing would be amazing with a nitro motor haha.
Awesome! I couldn't quit smiling when you lifted the garage door, you should've had a camera on the other side replicating the scene from the movie tank. Again what an awesome video!
"It would be sweet to have a big tank like that that runs off a turbine engine. It's time for rc adventures to step up the game and get jet engines
" Watch out when going uphill the engine might explode lol. It looks awesome man
Absolutely AWESOME ALL metal Tank, Respect you have a hell of a job with that Tank.
Finally an elephant without engine fires
Nice Build, Armortek makes some really good models. I have a Armortek Tiger 1 Ausf E Late Production, Very fun to build and nothing beats the quality.
That is by far the best rc tank I have ever seen!
6:43 is by far the best shot of this clip, you feel like the tank is life size and you are running along side of it into battle!
I just would like to congratulate you on such an amazing machine you definitely took it to a whole new level of course it cost a lot of money which anything fun does you could buy used car for what that cost but you wouldn't have as much fun
"The high rate of fire machine gun would be the more accurate. GREAT model, btw. Does it use a scale tortion bar suspension ? Will you be super detailing ? I'd surely like to see that. Get that cannon functioning, do some radio controlled bank robberies !! I'm kidding of COURSE ! Could work for intimidating them overbearing mother in laws, however !
" 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. ;)
"So when will we be seeing the ""How much can it pull?"" vid where you try to pull your various full sized vehicles? :D Seeing it even move your truck would be mind blowing.
