Re: Merkava from Hooben
The Merkava has been on Feng's list since the day he first pitched his RC tank plan to me & asked for $30k per model. Only took him 16 years but its finally happening. That said, I'd think he should have gone with a heavy gauge spring for the suspension since what is shown above looks a tad, dare I say, toy like compared to the real deal.
Re: Merkava from Hooben
Any thicker and he'd need to use plastic & put the real spring inside.
Re: Merkava from Hooben
I would think that you would barely be able to see them unless you remove the side skirts. I don't think I've ever seen a Merkava running around without side skirts.

Re: Merkava from Hooben
That's a given. I'll be on the look out for this at HEC in August, assuming Ark/Hooven will be exhibiting.

Cool, i see they have given it the Trophy Active protection system. Looks like we will see a lot more of them in the coming years.
