- Don't forget to watch the Meet my Tanks-video about the AMX-13 if you want to see more of this fabulous little baguette launcher!
• Meet my tanks #3 - th...
The AMX-13 is a French light tank developed during the early 1950. It has an oscillating turret, which means that the whole upper part elevates. The canon is a 75mm auto-loader, fed by two revolver magazine in the back of the turret. The design was revolutionary when it arrived.
This is a pretty long step-by-step description of how I made my AMX-13, a remote controlled tank in 1/8 scale.
- 2 x 15 Nm, 12 V screw driver as motors
- 2 x 80 A ESC from Hobbywing
- Hull made of plywood and aluminium
- Springs as shocks
- 3D printed tracks, drive wheels, road wheels and idler wheel
- 3D-printed details, such as the canon, vents, lights, etc
By using existing parts, cheap material like plywood, ordinary nuts and bolt, and a 3D-printer, I would like to show that you can accomplish stuff without spending a lot of money, or having the fanciest tools in your workshop. Enjoy! :) - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
This is the Mona Lisa in a tank building version
Thank you!
@@builtbyWikander dude this work is amazing i love it
@@builtbyWikander omfg this is incredible 🥰😍😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Mona lisa is pure sh***, this is art!
Do you sell the blue print?
Travail particulièrement impressionnant. Je me demande combien pourrait se vendre ce véritable travail d'orfèvrerie. En plus un blindé français, ça le mérite d'être souligné. Encore mille bravos. Des mains en or. On veut en voir d'autres pour le plaisir. Merci pour ce visionnage 👌
Thanks a lot for those kind words! I too think the AMX-13 is a gem; France has made a lot of cool vehicles. There are more build videos to watch on my channel! 😊
This is amazing! I thought this was gonna be a kit build not a scratch build, but damn the results speak for themselves, great work!
Thanks a lot, and thank you for watching! 🙏🙏🙏
Extraordinaire ce qu'un bon bricoleur peu faire !
Bless the algorithm that I managed to stumble upon this video, I like it
My sacrifice to the TH-cam gods wasn't in vain, then! 😁Thank you for the kind words and welcome!
Сколько же труда вбухано! Результат впечатляет.
Beautiful. The movement in the turret is great. It brings the AMC to life. When it rolls out of the work shop and the turret moves it appears to come to a life of its own. I liked the skirt around the turret. When it pulls up towards the end the turret skirt looks like a big smile. 😊
Haha, it sure does! Thanks a lot for commenting and for watching! 🙏👊
This baby baguette look gorgeous, hats off to you
🙏
wow its so smooth and gentle sounding while driving
This has given me #1, the confidence, and #2 the knowledge on how to build tracked models in the future! Thanks for all you do! Your artwork is truly inspiring
That's so cool to hear, thanks a lot and good luck!
holy moly, what an awesome you did there. Greetings from a formerly AMX 13-105 chauffeur ( Dutch army)
Thank you very much! Nice to hear from someone who worked with the real thing! 🙂
11 Paatcie hier 79-3 😊
Amazing, absolutely fantastic, beautiful work 💯🙂
Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
how has this guy only got 734 subs he deserves more
He just got another one from me ;-)
What a beaufifull build. Looks stunning
Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
This person has immense dedication.
dam you are impressive, you need to be selling some of these , that you make. because of you i actually got a 3d printer. i never thought i would , but afer watching you make things that i find very interesting i figured what the hell. i got to admit i do like it so far.
That's awesome! It's an incredible tool, opens up completely new possibilities. And thank you. 🙏
Колоссальная работа. Я в огромном восторге от просмотра!
Thanks!
Amazing craftsmanship.
Thanks a lot! 🙏
But it is a masterpiece of engineering. This man is probably a highly educated engineer with a lot of experience. I would love to see the plans or it will be even better if one day he takes the time to write a book for all those who are trying to learn the techniques of modelling and making RC model kits.😍
Haha, thanks man, but no - I know a bit of CAD, but I'm not an engineer, sadly. 😊
Legend has it, this is how real amx 13s were made lol
Pretty close! 😅
I can't stop watching your work! You've got me really wanting to test my hand at this myself......
Thank you! Awesome if it inspires you to make something!
Thank you, I LEARNED A LOT from watching this comprehensive building session 👍❤️
Awesome! 🙌
Incredible! Armor like on real amx 13
Ich finde es sehr toll wie diese einzigartigen Modelle entstehen da muss man schon was von verstehen und Ahnung haben und die speziellen maschienen
فوقالعاده است استاد چقدر جزئیات در این مدل رعایت شده ........👍👍👍👏👏👏
That's my favorite tank! In the WORLD what an amazing build!
Thank you! Yeah, the AMX-13 is a really cool tank. 👍
Perfectly made!
Thank you!
Excellent travail , bravo et vive la France !
I have just found your channel and am absolutely amazed, after looking at so many videos of people "building RC tanks only to find they are actually only assembling a very expensive kit. I intend to build something myself now in retirement, I was thinking something simple to start with and always liked the WW1 whippet. Would love to know how you control those drill motors with the RC.
Thank you very much for those kind words! As for controlling the motors, I use two ESC's, one for each motor, connected to two channels on my 8 channel reciever. The tracks can then be controlled individually, either by using two sticks on the radio, or by mixing the radio so that you accelerate and steer with one stick. It's like having a setup for two remote controlled cars in one tank.
The Whippet would make an awesome model, and as you say, would fit a more simpler approach. If you haven't already, check out rctankcombat.com , I have learned a lot from those guys.
@@builtbyWikander Do you sell your creations after you've had them for a while? To make more room and such? I honestly am interested in your 1/6th models and have you ever thought of making 1/4 or 1/2 scale?
This is amazing and deserves way more love
Thanks, man, appreciate it! ✌
Absolutely brilliant! I love the early post war French light tanks.
Thank you! Right, they are so quirky you just have to like them!
@@builtbyWikander
Especially when you play World of Tank. Amazing work I am impressed
That is awesome, simply awesome, the later French tanks don't get enough love
Thank you! Yeah, they are curious and cool!
Highly detailed & quality workmanship!
Thanks! 🙏
My dad use to rebuild tank engines in the war tiger tanks he use to Maintain tanks and wot you are doing her is a absaloot stunning pice of engineering brilliant my family knows a lot about tank's
AMAZING MAESTRO
Thank you!
WELCOME@@builtbyWikander
the slight stutters in the slewing and elevation add just the right amount of extra realism to the build. Just needs a little weathering work and it'll be indistinguishable from the real deal
Menacing Realistic!
Thanks!
серъёзно заморочился,достойная работа!
just found this channel and omg this is awesome
amx-13 is one of my favorite tanks, it looks so cool with the oscillating turret
huge respect from building it purely on your own and not assembling from a kit
I wish I could do this myself, but I don't have the equipment nor the skill to make one of my own
anyway, definitely subscribing to you
That's so kind of you, thanks a lot! 🙏🙏🙏 Yeah, it's somehow so very, very French. Love it. 😁
Truly beautiful craftsmanship!!
Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
this is so adorable!
Thanks you!
Nice to have a hobby ...and thousands in special equipment 😤😤
Well, it's actually not that expensive. Most hand tools are an inheritence from my grandpa's workshop, and the printer is a 300$ model.
Wow amazing. Working on a 1/6th AMX13 for a while. Wish i had those track and sprocket files. Beautiful build.
Stewart Harris Thanks, man! A 1/6 scale would make a very nice model, indeed. Not planning on releasing the stl-files, but all reference material comes from images and blueprints found on the net. And FreeCad is free to use. Cheers!
Google rctankcombat. It is a group that does 1/6th tanks that are equipped with paintball guns. Some in the US and in the UK.
Stewart Harris
Rctankcombat.com is a huge inspiration source for my builds! And I really like the 1/6 scale, as well. Working on my first 1/6 scale vehicle right now, the Steyr RSO. Are you planning on putting a paintball gun in your tank?
@@builtbyWikander that is the plan. Keeping first tank build simple to try to keep costs down. Not doing full suspension on it.
Stewart Harris Ok! My experience is that suspension adds a lot to the vehicle, and it isn't that costly either. Just some nuts and bolts and springs from a hardware store. Whatever your decision will be, it's going to be an awesome project. Good luck!
Very cool I must admit
Thanks!
Please do more videos like this, I love it
As soon as the 105 is ready, there will be a How to build-video! 😊
Superb work, brilliant to watch the full build👍👍👍
Much appreciated, and thanks for watching!
This tank is very excellent ! Awesome work ! Well Done !
Thank you!
Great build. Awesome skill with aluminum, wood and sheet metal.
Thank you! 🙏
What to say for that build, absolutely amazing the whole process, thousand bravos my friend!
Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
That is beautiful work
Thank you!
Is fun to see the design and engineering of these builds.
Thanks a lot! 🙏
Astonishing work, I am in awe!
Thanks, man!
How brilliant is that
You sir are a true talent! Just amazing.
Very kind of you, thanks a lot! 🙏🙏🙏
if you have time, in the future you could make the amx 50 foch, it doesn't have a turret so it should be easier, but still just as epic!
Simply jaw-dropping amazing!!
Thank you!
And here i am, 3 years later, discovering this masterwork. Tank you, TH-cam, very cool.
Haha, better late then never, I suppose. 🙄 Welcome, anyhow, and thanks for watching!
@@builtbyWikander oh, but it's me, who should thank you for the enjoyment that i had watching you build this AMX. So, thank you, and i am gonna watch what else you have in store, as well as subscribing 🙂. Have a great day!
@@gitgood8509 🙏 Likewise!
Where you tooooo, Ill pop down with some money now lol,,,That's pure awesomeness well done
This fine build earns a subscription!
Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
i'm truly impressed,great job
Thank you!
Very very nice work.
Can i ask more info about the track construction? How do you prevent the exit of rod between the tracks?
Hi, thank you! On this model, I put a little drop of superglue in the holes that the piano wire is pushed into. It keeps them in place.
This. Is a great video, and tank.
Thank you!
U DESERVE WAAAAAAY MORE SUBZ!!!!!
Haha, thanks man! And thanks for watching! 😁🙏
INSANE !!!! HATS OFF!
Thanks a lot! 🙌
Thanks for the indepth look into your process, I got some great ideas for my own tank project :D
That's awesome, thanks for watching!
I am totally jealous and amazed it is beautiful thanks for letting me see the tank in action
Thanks a lot and thanks for watching!
Thank you for the information.
Beautiful Tank hard work pays off
Thanks! 🙏
You're so good at building these. I've binge watched like 5 already and it's a lot of fun to watch. Well done buddy
Haha, awesome, thank you, and thanks a lot for watching!
@@builtbyWikander no problem. Have you thought about making a projectile, like maybe airsoft? Very cool tanks bud, looks like a lot of fun
@@frankierzucekjr Thanks! Yes, airsoft would be nice!
i would appreciate it if you did a video about electronics as i have no idea how to start in that aspect
I will look into that. For short, I use two ESC, one for each motor, and a battery, and that's it. No other electronics to get it moving. But a how to-video might be a good idea anyway!
@@builtbyWikander thank you so much man for being so awesome. cant wait to see you get to 1000 subs!
you are good
at this
Thanks!
Stunningly beautiful!! Bravo!!!
Thanks a lot!
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!! loved the attention to detail thats where its at

Holy shit! I have been trying to figure out how to connect the drive system for my 2 speed bostitch drills to a drive system and you just answered im question! Such a simple design! Thank you!
Great to hear, man! Best of luck with your project!
Truly beautiful work mate.
Thank you!
Omg, I would love to see an AMX-50B or the AMX M4 mle. 54. This absolutely tickles me pink, this is fantastic!
