Hooben hobbies tanks

[mike1268]

Anyone ever had or used a hooben tank? It's a brand I've not heard of. They produce 1/16 elephant and t55 that interest me

I have both, the Elefant needs major mods to the suspension to work correctly, the t-55 I found to be a nice tank but others has issues with poor part quality.

Hi mike,

I've both elefant and t55 built by others so can't comment on the build quality. My elefant runs very good, which surprises other elefant owners.

T55 runs sweet, mine has metal tracks which is a bonus. Internal space is tiny so any install is a head scratcher.

Ian,
Would mind bringing them to a Grantham meet one time so I could take a look? No rush, I think I have enough projects on the go to keep me busy until Christmas...lol

Can do Mike.

Just remind me closer to the time.
