I've also made a conversion for "Das Werk" Sd.Kfz. 251 Ausf. D kit...

...and did a short video of the first test run. I've only placed a simple HL Tk5.3, so steering servo is not activated (only wanted to know how the suspension works).

This is the Trumpeter conversion:

How are these available? Also, I see that Asiastam makes a metal verision. I gather Asiastam isn't interchangable with Trumpeter or Das Werk.

you´ve got a pm.

Yes, Asiatam released a metal chassis for the Sd.Kfz. 251 but there have to be some modications to bring it together with the Trumpeter or Das Werk kit.

Here you can check the matching of "Das Werk" kit with the RC chassis:
