XRAD'S JAGDTIGER
Re: XRAD'S JAGDTIGER
I like what you have acheived with the Matorro Jagdtiger. 
But a nice model like this deserve lot better electronics than HL's. Maybe SLU, Tamiya or even El-mod would be a good choice?
Or are you planning to stick with the HL stuff
...
I also having issues with short rage on the HL Tiger with Rx-18. And it's also disturbing other radios like my futaba for the KT (brand new G4WD). So I'm going to swap the R-x18 for a SLU or something like that. Now we would like a video of this beast running over obstacles.

Re: XRAD'S JAGDTIGER
Very nice build Xrad..i love all the extra detailing you have added. If this doesn't inspire some one , then i don't know what would.
Cracking build,you must be very pleased with it. I know i would be if it were mine

Re: XRAD'S JAGDTIGER
Thanks for the props!
Tow Hitch: there were two or three pics in my JT books or on the net, I forget. I built it off the pics and guessed at the construction in the areas I could not see.
As far as electronics, I have 10 tank builds. HL electronics are cheap and work for me. I try to keep build cost down and would rather put the money towards a good gearbox. I am not close to any other tankers, so I only run them one at a time, once in a while.
I will post some video.
