RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Ok so I want to build an R/C truck or halftrack to go along with my tanks but I can't seem to find a halftrack that doesn't require the selling of half of my gentlemans bits, as Jeremy Clarkson would say. I found this German 3 ton 4x4 truck kit from rctank.de and wondered if you guys knew anything about it? http://www.rctank.de/German-army-3-ton- ... kit-1-16_1 Like can it be made into an R/C truck? If so how much would I need? I have SEVERAL Radio Shack 1/28th scale R/C cars I can strip for their receiver and the transmitter is standard pistol grip style that has both left and right proportional steering and forward and reverse proprtional speed control so I figure that should work just fine. I'm sure I could do this but I'd like more information if possible.

Also if anything like this exists in the U.S. that may save me on cost due to the high conversion rate and shipping would really HURT on it from Germany. Thanks guys.

To be honest this shouldn't be too much of a difficult task to make into an RC model.

There looks to be ample space on the chassis and cab to mount the relevant gear.

Looks to be a fun project, keep us posted if you go ahead.

Chris, who posts in other builds often, has some Armored Car kits for sure. Very cool stuff.

Hopefully he'll chime in as I really like the one half track kit he has but I'm very unsure on his pricing. Maybe something gets lost in translation? Either that or I'm just an idiot.

I bought my Torro half track from a guy on Ebay. He goes buy the name of the commander. Search 1:16 half track. If you have trouble finding him let me know and I will look further.

PS Here is his web site info rctankcommand.com

Was looking for a German truck of half track but seeing a video of the U.S. half track from Torro it looks pretty cool. I just can't find where to buy the thing or even get a price! Go thru the Torro site and it shows the half track but when you click on it your taken to a page with all of their tanks and no half track? How much did you pay for it?

It was $250.00 US. Again, check out his web site. rctankcommand.com The Torro half track has a 27MHZ radio and the radio range is not the best.

Wow man thanks! Its nice to know theres at least 1 place in the U.S. that sells them! I like that he tests them all before he ships them too. I may just have to get this as my first U.S. vehicle, I figure this and a Sherman would make a nice little start for the allies in my backyard.

You're welcome my friend, here is mine being tested before he shipped.

Ok thats cool that he sends you a video of your own half track being tested! Looks like I know exactly where to order this from when I go to get it. Thanks again man!


But I think I still want the German truck too. I'm thinking my Tiger and King Tiger and the German 4x4 truck and then the half track and a couple Shermans should all make for a nice little collection.
