JRC - do you have the older pinkish KT or the newer yellow camo pattern. Blitz has a video on youtube and it shows both versions and the newer versions turret rotates a bit faster,,, it looks pretty accurate from what I've seen.

Just got an update from Phil and he's going to have to put in HL electronics. The Matorro board can't handle the high torque gearboxes, metal tracks, or combination of both. Drives fine but won't turn. :'( He says the HL guts have it working great though. I was hoping to hear something other than the HL sounds with the KT but can't justify an El Mod upgrade... oh well, I'll take performance over accoustics any day! :-)

Ern, I have one of the very early ones, it was a lovely pink which I rapidly repainted to "ambush"

I had exactly the same problem when I built my Jagdtiger with rx-14 HL boards, it would go back and forward but wouldn't turn, but the rx-18 cured it. :)
