Re: Asiatam Famo or Elefant

Thats good to hear that the Famo is available again. I too would like to get one someday. I think my next tank purchase is going to be a T-55 though. I wonder if maybe the reason is was discontinued for a while was there were some issues with it and now they have fixed those issues? It would be nice to know but as Maxx says they dont respond to e mail or nothing. Tom recommends the elefant but the one i got from aisa tam appears to have been made on a friday afternoon on a holiday weekend :'(

Well that's it, I have ordered the Famo and fingers crossed it should be ok.
Will post some photosphere I receive it.
I don't know the reason for it disappearing from the website occasionally but I guess it may just be Asiatam just running out of stock.
Next job is to decide what control system to use, Elnod/Asiatam/Clark etc.

Hi Eddy
Those look very nice replacements, what was the problem with the original.

Eddy, did he make any extra sets? That would be very interesting. :)
