new hooben T55

Hi,

I've been following the development of this for half a lifetime now, and am delighted to finally have proof that it actually exists!

As far as I know, it does have electronics. They are made by Clark, who are well known to modellers for their conversion kits for 1/35 models. Whether the electronics need to be bought separately - well it seems to depend on who did the latest postings and what day of the week it is.

Doesn't seem quite up to Tamiya standards - there seems to be quite a bit of flash on vital areas of the swing arms etc.

As soon as they are available from UK dealers I guess I will be quite a few quid poorer. I wonder who will be the first of our recommended suppliers to get them?

Managed to bum a ride in one at Muckleburgh at the UKTC do there last year. Very smooth, incredibly agile, cramped, noisy, smelt of diesel fuel and hot oil. GREAT RIDE!!!!
