RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Just came across this and was wondering if anyone had one and what their thoughts were about it. From a video I saw seemed pretty well built with steering,rotating and elevating gun mount. Been a fan of the US Halftracks since childhood and might half to put it on my Xmas list.

I have a couple of the original ones and I like them a lot.

Some people don't like the electronics it comes with, and fit new control boards, but I believe they cost as much as the M16.

They are great fun.

I bought mine from

a couple of years ago,
If you go to UTube there is a multi-part tutorial on modifying it.
I agree the specific to the M16 Elmod board is expensive but it really is a well worthwhile cost,
After modding the armoured screen and the side windows the sky is the limit.
It is one of the most rewarding 1/16 r/c models I have worked on.
Just about everything in the Halftrack can be unscrewed or worked free.
Peddinghaus offer a couple of alternative decal sheets for the M16 to give your Halftrack a unique look.
While I am talking about the M16 does anyone know where I can get hold of a detailed radio to fit in the radio Rack in place of the poorly detailed WSN/Torro radio ?

I've had several of them and still have one in its complete stock format. So, again, if you have Skype I can show you.

I have the older version, 27mhz, and a friend has just received the newer 2.4ghz. Both are exactly the same with the exception of an antenna on the older style.
As Jarndice said, I altered the armoured window screen and it is a very rewarding model. I also added a second radio and headphones for more detail.
Jaundice, try "diorama parts" a german ebay seller for your radio.
Hope you get your M16, Ragnar. I am sure you will enjoy it.
Cheers Afrikakorps

Mr Afrikakorps, do you mean Diorama Freak?

Yes, both are the same. Diorama Freak (sellers store name) or dioramaparts (ebay name).

Oh, ok, cheers

It’s a good halftrack but I would consider taking the tracks off and look for tracks that are suitable . The tracks are rubber and they come off over obstacles . Maybe Sherman tracks be good choice

Belive it or not, rubber tracks are authentic. They are what were fitted on the original.
