GIANT TANK DESTROYER: FIRST DRIVE! FERDINAND ELEFANT ARMORTEK All Metal 1/6 Scale | RC ADVENTURES

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ธ.ค. 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 TH-cam. 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!

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 ;)
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
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.
3:16
Ah yes, the Ferdinand breaking down.
*Just like the simulations.*

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.
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?

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!
Cuánto vendes a bestia
I understand your feeling. I'm 46 and still fly my larger RC airplanes and think I'm a pilot lol. Cheers man.
3:27 crew: the ferdinand is stuck again!
Sir, there's an angry mob of soviets all around us throwing molotovs!
@@wetlettuce4768 Sir We Are Getting Hit By Artillery!- Oh Wait It's Just Our Engine Sucks.
tank
the engine sound, how it changed in real time is the icing on the cake, really is an amazing machine!
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!
8:53 look life size and it looks like there’s a mountain
10:35 what it feels like to play tanks in Battlefield
*7 nation army intensifies*
boys will be boys, glad you like our vintage - cheers with beers from germany
I love that Tank Brilliant Toy I'm so jealous
Ferdinand Porsche would be proud
Me too.
*would
@@grzybowy1680 English is not my first language, but thank you for the correction though.
Amazing! Loved the ending! Congrats, all of you! Team work and team spirit all through the build 😍
Nais
Bonjour je vous remercie par la
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
One of the most epic things I’ve ever seen
Glad I stayed up after work and decided to watch TH-cam lol
Our channel has some epic things on it.. welcome, glad you found us
Been watching y’all for almost Two years now brother just always come across one or two older ones I missed
Great fucking videos and family and friends y’all are amazing
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. 😎
WE DID IT!! SHARE AND COMMENT! Thanks for 10 Years on TH-cam, 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.
Everything about this tank is awesome.... but the fiery outro was killer! Loved it!
I would kill to have half the “toys” you have
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 THING IS INSANE BROTHER!!! The last shot through the fire was so war retro. Amazing job guys!
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.
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.
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.
Amazing. The sound effects are perfect!
A German tank destroyer made by Porsche, the sports car everyone wants.
That's it a test drive in the snow and mud just like they did for real .
Ferdinand Porsche would be proud
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.
I've said this time and time again, get the 1/16 size tanks, make the hulls actually armored to scale, and make the cannon fire 22lr ammo. Id pay big bucks too go to a bulletproof tank arena where you fight other people's tanks to the death.
same.
So start a league
More to scale would be 30 cal say 7.62 × 39??
@@chasefreedom5178 the normal rc models are a little smaller the tiger tank would use a .22winmag at the smaller scale, this badass thing is huge compared to the normal rc tanks
@@ianhale4466 That was my thought. A 30 caliber with a bull pup barrel outfitted with a flash supressor/Muzzle brake....War games would take on a new dimension. If the rounds could be accurately aimed in a stationary position....LOL 😁
AMAZING!!!! So cool!
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 👏👏👏🍺🍺
Dude, you have always been an amazing support.. thank YOU for taking the time to allow us into your home for the last 10 years!! This project was to say thanks to all of the viewers who help make this show happen each day :)
Thank you rc sparks for loving my comment
Teasing that is what she said lol
Incredible build, and a super bunch of cool dudes working on it. Great jokes. Really enjoyed following all parts of the build.
This is so unbeliveable beautyful! I love it so much! Thanks and greeting from Germany!
Absolutely AWESOME ALL metal Tank, Respect you have a hell of a job with that Tank.
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
*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
The weather is so perfect too.. as they march on stallingard ..
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?
Парни! Вы сделали потрясающую модель Фердинанда! Круто! Привет из России!
Hey there! Thank you so much :) Waving to you from Western Canada!!
@@TheRealRCSparks You speak Russian?
@@mrducky179, Yes, but he is from Russia 😐
@@pataubotik1380 ok

RCSparks Studio ggfbdddfdbnfmngggnhdnfvygfhedd ehhe
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
if i get drafted into ww3 im takin this.
lol
That is amazing! Holy cow! Bravo to you guys for this custom build!!
Tug of war vs the biggest rc you got .....awesome tank
This is the biggest RC I have... the Tank doesnt stand a chance ;) th-cam.com/video/fsTFRkfB0gI/w-d-xo.html
Tank vs The Judge
That's great. I want to see it crush stuff. Beer cans maybe. Smash some pumpkins perhaps. Destroy something!
Awesome!!
Speechless...
Amazing!!
Watching this made my day!! WOW
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 .
He-Yes.
I'm more into the construction R/Cs at the moment coz' it can do more but tank R/Cs will be less boring if they have an option for a legal amount of gunpower so it can go "Kaboom".
Your kids are so luckly, it'll be all theirs soon and build a lot of great memories.
God bless, Rev. 21:4
Driving through the fire was a great touch at the end
Seriously.... who can dislike such a video?!
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 ;)
impressed with the pick of tank model.not many people even know this thing actually existed.
Seen this in my feed with Matt and a mini tank! Found myself saying, "Oh God Matt, what are up to now."
Now that's A Beast of an RC Tank Destroyer!
My god this is amazing lol
Agreed.
That RC tank is a beast!!! I need one 💪 Start the tune of "Erica" 😜
Oh, I am sooooo envious, man! WTG ♥
The little soldier sitting on the tank in the beginning looks like he was shrunk down to size!! So REAL looking! Especially @ 2:03
Just remember, the natural enemy of the Ferdi are inclines, even slight ones
That was the coolest thing I've ever seen!🤘
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. ;)
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!
Amazing tank I have wvee seen!!
Me: I want your entire stock
The best tank I have ever seen
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
wow such an amazing build.
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
Wow I love your tank very nice, thanks for sharing
Money can't buy you happiness...... 4:28 faces........YA...OK....lol. Great video guys!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not gonna bother doing the maths...
But methinks this costs 1/6 of an orginal fullsize...
5:44 weeeee im riding my Daddy’s tank
man,that is a beauty.
Bloody awesome! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
What a beast! absolutely brilliant
The sound completes it. Sounds awesome
Greetings from Germany! I love this tank and specially the size!
What a beauty elefant...Ready for operation citadele ... :)
I wish Guderian watch this video
Gi Jo is having a blast driving it !!
Imagine having that cool dad who lets you ride his tank! his friends must be hella jealous.
That's awesome....10 years on YT! Keep up the good work guys!
Thank you so much! It was quite an accomplishment :) Really stoked you commented, Happy New Year!
@@TheRealRCSparks and the same to you....can't wait to see what 2019 brings for us from RcSparks!
@@trumpeytoes7450 "wig"
You guys did it congrats
Crazy model
Is that 1/6 scale metal monster??? Love those historical armoured vehicles!!! Even in a smaller scale!!!
That thing is incredible! !
RC ATHLETES hvh
I refuse to subscribe to rc sparks studio until I see them drive a tank through fire.... wait, they did what?....
Be so cool if it was an Airsoft or something like that.
There was one i saw a couple years ago, it was either a panzer 3 or 4 and they had attached a real flamethrower to the rc tank.
FunGuyStudios Nice
Airsoft? I was thinking .357 magnum
Will Scrudato .410 would be sweet too 🤙
They have one that shoots airsoft with metal tracks for 200 bucks
Here in 2021 amazing build!!! The outro was literally 🔥
My Christmas is tomorrow Merry Christmas to everybody
How does Santa do both days?
But you can't change the day of Christmas lol
Big Work, awsome, really!!! I'm verry impresst! Regards from Germany.
Hello Germany ! Waving to you from Western Canada!
@@TheRealRCSparks oh...Canada? I love your Country!! I was as Soldier in Canada in the Year 1988. (Camp Shilo, near Winnipeg, German Army Training) We have Leopard 1 Tanks. It was a very nice, very big Time in Canada.
Why do you build an German Tank?
@@Tigerbube Because Germany build super-strong tanks that time.Like Tigers,Panthers against T-34s and M4s. And even M1 Abrams and K1A1(My countrys Tank!) use German Rheinmetall smoothbore.
@@Tigerbube grüß Gott aus den niederlande!
@@Linea_Arpolite_ Heavier doesn't mean more efficient)))
Amazing! It didn't break down or catch fire right away.
I just had an AMAZING idea for this beast....
It would involve alot of tear down....
All the seams along the the belly...
A nice bead of clear silicone to keep out the water if it should ever be put in the water.... I know you've had it out in the snow in another video.
