RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Trumpeter now released the 1/16 Sd.Kfz. 251 Ausf. D and many have the kit already at home. Some had hoped that the model could be converted (easy) to RC, but the longer the more disillusionment spread.
I also got the kit and wanted to see, if and how a conversion to RC would be possible.

First I measured and made a drawing of the lower hull

and this is what came out:

the lower hull have to be reworked below

it will fit and looking like that:

I see a challenge with the promise of a fine model. Do you have in mind a specific MFU? Will you reinforce the lower hull in some way? Will some of the front steering have to be reinforced or remade?

Following with great interest It's on my "do do" list as kit is not expensive (I wonder how Das Werk kit will look in comparison).

Oh, I forgot to mention that all parts at this picture will be new and printed respectively (the hull is stiff designed, so no additional reinforcement will be necessary) :

Also the tracks are printed, but the metal tracks from Asiatam will fit with the suspension too.

The MFU will be this one (especially created for half tracks):

I have already run the suspension several times some time ago.

Will you sell ready-made chassis (or kit)?

Doch ja, Panzerjaeger! I am using the SGS module in my FAMO. I like it!
