Yes, from one or more of the larger firms here that do a decent job at quality while keeping costs within range.LordPanzer wrote:I can open hope its one of the larger companies like a henglong, torro or Tamiya to give the avg working man a chance to buy it at a reasonable price and a platform to work on and make our own. I know everyone's situation is different yet for me the high sticker price for the custom one off designs is a bit of a deterrent. But also understand its all part of the process and RD and manufacturing time and costs are greater with smaller operations.BarryC wrote:Who has the M60 you've heard about?Xiaoshan_Sailor wrote:Heard M60 already in the pipeline so may want to skip.

Rad, sorry but not a thing. Nothing but crickets from the gentlemen from Hong Kong but then again the bamboo telegraph has gone quiet lately for others, too, as everyone focuses on getting production out the door.

Can imagine. They are announcing it for more than 5 years but it never sees the light...Xiaoshan_Sailor wrote:Rad, sorry but not a thing.

I'm still battling with the matilda, the big problem is the weight of the gearboxes and the ability of the suspension to handle it.
