Hooben VCU ( Elephant)
Is anyone familiar with the Hooben VCU for the Elephant? Does it use a separate receiver for use with any Radio?

No idea but I'll be at an RC tank evert this weekend in Shanghai that Hooben will be attending. I'll ask & let you know. May also get some intel on this coming Hetzer, T34/76 & other pending releases.

Re: Hooben VCU ( Elephant)
Sorry, should have mentioned scale. Look towards Clark for one or the other in 1/16 but that'll be a long ways off.
Nothing wrong with a 1/10 Hetzer - it'll look cool running alongside our crawlers later this year. Am picking up my new HG Humvee this weekend while in Shanghai.

I agree, I just wish it was 1/16!Xiaoshan_Sailor wrote:Sorry, should have mentioned scale. Look towards Clark for one or the other in 1/16 but that'll be a long ways off.

Yes it can be configured to work with a standard receiver, but it is crap.X82d Pathfinder wrote:Is anyone familiar with the Hooben VCU for the Elephant? Does it use a separate receiver for use with any Radio?
I have one working, the functionality is fine but the sound is terrible and is a simple sound loop with a click when it restarts. I am about to upgrade to a TK40 when post from Taiwan resumes.
I plan to re-task the Hooben unit into another model (without weapons) and use a separate proportional engine sound generator, an ARV of some type probably.
There was a HETZER based recovery vehicle I think that might be a good option.

Re: Hooben VCU ( Elephant)
The show that he was attending Kaczor was back in 2019 so I doubt we'll be seeing their new stuff at any shows for a little while longer yet
