With regards to the Static trumpeter 1/16 T34 model is it possible to rc convert this kit?

The local shop has three of these in stock,they are part of an estate sell bulk purchase,their asking 150.00 us for these,if I knew which country you live in possibly this would be an option for you?

I am in the UK, I have seen them at model shows here for around £60-£80
I sometimes pick up 1/16 RC Tamiya Kubelwagens at these to build and sell on.

I know some Hooben and Tamiya static kits have mountings for gearboxes etc but do the trumpeters?

No, its not really a practical proposition - the kit including suspension is all plastic.

The trumpeter kit is used by Torro as the basis for their T 34so the answer must be yes its possible. However if you get the Torro tank you then have a working tank you can strip and modify if you want to as a basis they are great models. i have their Tiger 1 . But they are otherwise quite similar to Heng Long inside the Tiger 1 is far more accurate than Heng longs and is on a par with Tamiya in accuracy. I for one am on the lookout for a Torro one but id still love a crack at the basic kit
