Nice, Is it 1/16 and where did you get it ?
I shall be watching this build because if it is 1/16 it will help anyone trying to r/c Tamiyas Static Kubel :thumbup:

The 1/16 revell VW is a nice little kit Ralf, I look forward to see what you do with it. I converted one to rc going back last year and have another kit which I will be building shortly into a desert version. This is a link to my build so you can see what I did with mine :thumbup:

This is not a revell kit, comes RC from factory, with lights. Is made by welly and are hard to find outside germany.

It needs better electronics, servo steering, more lights and sound. I am working in one too! :D

Thanks mate I did not forget your help. I got it with the help of xhelix from rc panzerforum he offered to help first than nobody else so I accepted his help and I ordered it, along some other parts and paints from seidl modelbau and some other things. I appreciate your help and all the others who offered themselves to help.

Sorry if I did not amswer you back, I receave HEAPS of emails and private messages, mostly requiring help with electronics and sometimes I lost the track of what has been answered and what not

Big thank to all of you again!
