It looks like it rides very nicely "straight out of the box".

Magnificent.
Looks like it could do with a steering travel limiter at times perhaps.
Mr Xhelfix's outdoor area is a good test course.!

Hi,
Torro made a good job at the 251.
The steering servo have metalgear and is waterproof.
Ballbearings at the axle:

Re: Torro 1:16 Sd.kfz 251
Open diff? anything which provides brake to inner track to aid sterring?
Or is it a torsen type diff which helps transmit the torque to outer track to aid steering mechanically?

Re: Torro 1:16 Sd.kfz 251
In the pictures the diff looks "open" and in the video just after the lake it struggles to turn on the dirt road. My guess is no track steering and significant weight over the steer axle. Does run impressively well for a half track.WCP RC MODELS wrote: ↑Thu Jan 23, 2025 2:35 pm Open diff? anything which provides brake to inner track to aid sterring?

It´s a quite simple open differential - same like at the M16 halftruckWCP RC MODELS wrote: ↑Thu Jan 23, 2025 2:35 pm Open diff? anything which provides brake to inner track to aid sterring?
