This will sound like a joke, but it really happened.

Especially coming from me...
I just got the radio and batteries for the Tamiya Tiger I. I charge up the batteries and hook up all the electronics on the bench. I don't know when I'm actually going to build this kitty, so I didn't want any surprises a month or two from now when I can't send anything back.
So I have the Tiger purring away (the guts at least) and I'm running it through the different functions for sounds; MG, 88, turret and elevation. I also hooked up the recoil motor just to see how it functions, real cool.
I want to compare the engine and gun sounds to my M4 that's almost complete. So I get that out, and turn it on. Now I have both engines idling away, volumes adjusted so they're the same.
I start running through the Tiger functions again, hit the 88 and the M4 stalls. I'm not kidding. Everytime you fire the 88, the M4 engine cuts out, then starts up again. It's hilarious. Do you think Tamiya programmed this reaction?


The radios are different frequencies, but I guess they are close enough. I didn't expect this little bit of realism.

Again, this is absolutely true. I'm not Sherman bashing here. Just thought I'd share.
