Hooben 1:16 T55
Re: Hooben 1:16 T55
Hello to all - I am new here but have emailed Hooben about purchasing the T55
Apparently the Kit is ready to order and in about two months the RTR kit will be ready for sale - not sure if anyone else has heard the same?
They are after wholesalers to distribute the model successfully and as a member of the public I don't have the room or the money to buy 10 kits or more at the moment!
They are reatiling for $221 U.S for the build kit only or $442 for the RTR if I read the billing details correctly?
Regards
Adam

Re: Hooben 1:16 T55
This rumour keeps surfacing, but folks usually end up finding out that they are getting prices for an r/c boat... ::)
There is a guy on another forum who is quite close to the factory, as soon as he tells us that the tank is ready I'll start getting excited - until then I wouldn't recommend parting company with your cash...

Hi Guys
I don't suppose anyone got any info on the Elefant Hooben were supposed to be building?
I enquired months ago but the reply I got wasn't the clarifying as English wasn't the repliers first language.
Many Thanks
jim

Re: Hooben 1:16 T55
I sent Hooben an email the other day and a lady there sent me back prices and asked for my order.
I said I was just enquiring and would like one in the future after I finally move house, the mother of my child would not be amused if I decided to play tanks at this moment.
Static Tank Kit 1 Hooben $90
Static Tank Finished 1 Hooben $140
Tank Kit 1 Hooben $150
Tank ARTR 1 Hooben $200
Alloy Case 1 Hooben $60
Wooden Case 1 Hooben $10
Smoke Generator 1 Hooben $30
Metallic Gun Barrel 1 $30
Metallic Gearbox(including motor) 2 $75
Sales@hooben.com
If anyone gets one I'll be sick with jealousy. But I would like to see somthing nice done with one.

Re: Hooben 1:16 T55
hi guys. i actually have the t55s here already. production was slow and they forgot to send me a few small parts and most importantly the instructions!!!! they do not come in a artwork box, they are in lots of plastic bags a bit like a flat pack furniture job. i have asked about the rest of the production and asked a few questions of my contact there, chap called momji and he tells me they are quite a small firm and they are behind on development of the elefant and other tanks in the range. i have told him i am interesetd in purchasing more obviously. also if you are going to order directly, you need to ask how many you have to order as i think the minimum order is 8, that's how many i had to have. fro what i have seen the t55 looks promising, but i am not sure about the gearboxes. i'll post a few pics of the bits i have and you have have a nose. cheers dave
