Hooben T55 purchase
On a whim, I visited the local hobby store and managed to talk the owner into selling me his Hooben T-55 display case tank. According to him, he bought it from a Hooben rep after a R/C show. It was put together quite well with only a few minor issues here and there. I scored the tank with full electronics, radio, and a sweet custom aluminum padded case for $399. Now I need to find metal tracks....I already contacted Kenny and he is sold out with no date for any future runs. Anybody have any ideas?

Sounds like an excellent purchase Cruiser, I love my hooben t-55. I think Chris sells the kenny long tracks. I've always found the plastic tracks upto the job though!

They are a pain to build, but once done, they are brilliant tanks. I wish that I had kept mine.
