Hi Ken, You have made a great job of the "Famo". I am still not finished fighting the shortcomings of "Asiatam"s Panzer 4 Metal Hull but I have had an ambition to build a 1/16 Famo as part of a Prime mover and trailer combination,
But going back to when Steve at http://www.welshdragonmodels first started selling the "Asiatam" Metal hull for the PZ4 which almost immediately got almost constant complaints of the sub standard hull and Steve's decision to reimburse everyone who suffered and refusing to sell anymore of them I kept putting it off,
Reassure me OR NOT!! that the "Famo" is a more presentable kit of parts. :thumbdown: :thumbup:

I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

599 euros http://www.asiatam.com/product_info.php ... -1-16.html I think all the motors, electronics etc are in addition.

Ken I saw your Torro half-track video. Do you have photos to post if it? It's a super build. If I've missed them please let me know where to find them.

Many thanks

Super Ken. I happened upon it while watching your other videos and was surprised to see how it came out and how agile it was.

Hey Shaun thanks mate.... I feel your pain on the P4 lower hull built one of those for a customer in the US and its was a shit fight to say the least. The Famo comes ready built, all you need is radio gear, battery , servo for steering and a control board to run it. Its pretty rough and some of the metal parts are softer then plastic and break looking at them. I am still having trouble getting mine to reverse without the tracks on one side binding up..... :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: but its the only one on the market and its works sort of ...lol

Thanks Silver surfer, Doc and Carl....
