It's weird hearing education and Hooben in the same sentence considering how many things are wrong with their tanks

I have recently purchased the Hooben 'Fury' Sherman apart from finding it difficult to get inside the tank it is a very very good model..perhaps a little quiet but a very good runner...

Never buy from Hooben

I mean, any human is going to have a hard time getting into a 1/16th scale tank. Very claustrophobic..

OK, that was funny! A shame I didn't come up with that.

Yes, yes it was funny.

This is all I got. It was floating around the FB RC tank groups this summer.

My mussis, would have no problem getting into one. She’s tiny, but perfectly formed, and she definitely has no problem getting into my wallet, which is even smaller.

Hooben actually has some pretty detailed tanks. The issue with Hooben is their customer service, their pre-sale delays, the promises they make and can't keep, and lack of spare parts. Other than that, they make decent tanks...

Seriously though, good luck with your Sherman. Only thing with the Hooben Sherman I've heard is that the suspension is not all that resilient. Luckily there are those out there that have started 3D printing the HVSS suspension parts so if it does break, you may be able to adapt parts from those designers.
