I need to move into my workshop

Post by Spartan tracks »

Health wise the first 5 moths of this year have not gone well, although I did get my 1/6 JP finished.
So as I've had a fair few weeks in hospital and months at home resting, On the downside it's left me to much time on eBay.
When I started this hobby 18 months ago I rushed in and bought quit a few H//L tanks, But I found after a year I wanted tanks that would run more to scale ( not for battling) I found with the plastic ones they bounce around a lot, I thought a heavier tank might run better so I sold all my HL tanks and started with the TORRO Tanks which range from 11 to 15kgs so I now have a lot of electrics and painting to do I now have TORRO Panther F Panther G Jagdpanther,Jagdtiger Tiger 1 early Tiger 1 late Panzer 4 T34/85 these will run on Elmod boards with new radios and custom speaker, so you can see I have a mountain to do along with a couple of bargains I picked up 1/16 tiger 1 Tamiya, and a KV1 which is a bit of a mix match Tamiya shell Ibu board and custom speaker Uprated GEARBOXS and motors etc and 1/6 Pak40 75mm so as you can see I DONT KNOW WHERE TO START lol

Kind regards Andy

There aren't any Torro's between 11-15kg's that I know of..your all metal Elephant is around 10kg's ?.. I doubt theres anything heavier out there at mo..Maybe Andy meant with the wooden crates.

Maybe that should be lbs not kgs. I've just weighed my full metal Torro and its 5.7kgs or 12lbs 9oz.

Good morning,
The Taigen \ Torro metal KV series tanks are right at 20 pounds unmodified. The new MATO all metal TD is a heavy beast but the 'Palace' remains the heaviest of my Heavy Tanks.
regards,
Painless
