You need a login to view that board, and I'm not a fan of how that forum is run so I'm not getting one...

I hope it is well built,but either way someone will figure out how to make a good tank of it.At this point if the hull is accurate the electronics can always be modified with the RX-18 unit,and gearbox units are plentiful,it's all good.I wonder about the hatches if they open? What about color schemes just the camo or maybe a solid color tan or Gray?I guess being Matorro they will only offer the camo paint work.SAX

I don't really want to have to sign up to see the pictures. Can some one post them here? I'd like to know if the lower hull has been correctly extended, or if their using the lower hull from the KT.
Cheers,
Rik

hi there grim

i will ask if i can post pics here .. but from what i can see thay have just used the standard KT hull .. which is crap ..as the torro hull has an ugly bumb . curve in the front lower hull to accm there crap gear box ... i have asked the question about the lenght of the hull and its gone very quiet ....

Thanks Iain, If its the standard size, at least you can replace the lower hull with a Tamiya one. Then you could have much better gearboxes, and proper suspension. I suppose the hull could be extended if you were determined enough. I've seen it done on Tamiya KT conversions.
Cheers,
Rik

I think it's exactly the same hull as the KT, right down to the gear box bump at the front.
