Hi Alpha, no I'm not going to add the Zim to the turret, I actually prefer the smooth look with only the Zim on the lower hull.

I am considering desert camo patterns though if anyone has any pictures of these it would be most helpful?

Hi Jake, yes she is pretty heavy, about twice the weight of my all metal Tiger.

Hi Pete, the KT is already pretty modded to the max but there is always some things.

For example I've ordered an all metal bow mg as the standard is plastic.
I will be tweaking the Camo slightly and hand painting the decals.
I've got a KT specific crew on its way which should finish nicely for display purposes.
May even push for full electronics upgrade that the guys on here rave about.

I still love the choice of your torro KT I'm so toying with the idea of getting a Torro Tiger 1 but who knows have to get rid of a couple of zHL ones before just for the room ;)

Hello Merlin, very nice KT. I've thought about a Taigen or Torro KT for my next tank also. So how is the tank running, any problems? I've heard they like to spit their tracks. It sure does look great, I like the box also. Can you also verify the 360 degree turret. Thanks

Hi Joe,

It is running like a dream, I've run it in my back garden through everything but snow and ran it hard and the tracks have stayed put with no issues.
The box is a really great feature of the Torro tank, it was one of the selling points for me and it is also brilliant for storing and transporting the tank in complete safety.
With regards to the full 360 rotation I can confirm that this is true, I sat with it spinning in a continuos direction for 5 mins to to check for myself. A note of warning though! It is currently only the desert coloured Torro KT that has the 360, the camo version DOES NOT!

Hope that helps.

That helps a lot Merlin. I didn't know that the desert colored was the only one with the 360 degree turret. Happy to hear it is a fine runner too. May have to treat myself when I return from vacation. Thanks again.

One more thing Merlin, is this the correct stock number Tor13535.
