Hi See photos very similar spacing and same number of wheels (ok different types of suspension ) if you fit skirts to the lower to hide suspension arms .

They will be a couple of years away if past experience is anyting to go by. They were only recently making enquiries as to what the hobbyists would like to see. It takes months to design the tank, months to design the moulds, and then months to test the moulds, check everything fits and redesign etc etc. If they get any detail wrong they know that ten thousand people are going to join the dawn chorus of 'that's not accurate'.

The T90 was a long while in the making, it's evident from the design that this was on the drawing board in the pre-2.4ghz days. so that was a couple of years ago.

A dicky bird also tells me that some of their CAD designers have left for better paid jobs, and that there will be a lull in development while they recruit and train new guys.

According to YouTube, the 1/6 Tigers are all being hand built by an old Chinese bloke in a dark workshop so it might take a while for him to build up some inventory:

So can I Wibbly,
At last I have found a source for a new Heng Long Transmitter and a copious supply of Cardboard boxes.
Good find.

Good morning,
I know it's probably staged ( since the only tank visible being worked on is their ubiquitous Tiger 1 ) but I appreciate a different look at the World behind the Hobby (or the gears that make it go)
Thanks, Mr. Wobbly.
regards,
Painless
