Room in KV1

[tao]

Does the KV1 have about the same or more space inside overall as Tiger I/KT? (Tracks look about same width as Tiger I also?)

Good morning tao,

I've just recently upgraded the lower hull on my kv to a metal version, these are a couple of pictures of the standard plastic heng long lower with measurements, HTH,

Cheers, Lee.

Thanks! It is about the same inside as my KT.

Hello MB4,
did you upgrade to the taigen metal hull with torsion bars ?
I have this on a toro KV-2 conversion, metal tracks and road wheels.
Close to 16lbs in weight.
Mine has the de 5:1 gearboxes but i don't think they are strong enough.
I would be interested to know what you are using and what you think of them.
Cheers

Hi, yes I upgraded to the asiatam metal lower with torsion suspension, it was also for my torro converted kv2, I run standard black steel gears in there and it's fine, it has metal tracks with metal sprockets and idles, the road wheels and return rollers are plastic. I also have a Taigen metal version kv1 which has all metal running gear and the black steel gears are also fine in that, HTH

Cheers, Lee.
