Yes, he will drive outside ! He is built for normal use - just wanted to have a scale Tiger II - ... and do not forget the Instandsetzung !

A bit of time - so I've done the right side ...

Yes, but nearly all parts were needed to correct the Tamiya faults ... ... and they could be cheaper ... more dealers are needed !!!

Yes the weight grows from part to part, but I do have no problems with that, because I use only one battery packet, so Axels authentic suspension works great !

As I said, "still a lot to do", not only the tracks , mirrors, gears, recall and a lot of other details (especially on the weels) ...

Towards the tracks I am still not shure which I will use - if you can help it would be great ... so far I see the:

1. Asiatam tracks
2. Torro tracks
3. Axels tracks (2 versions)
4. Impact tracks
5. Kenny Kong tracks (I think these are the best !?! )

Would be happy to get some argues pro and contra (if possible with pictures) ...

Greetings

About the metal tracks

IMPACT tracks are very cool ! besides the excellent quality , they do have a very good pin-design ,
No need for glue or other fiddling around , these pins stay in there !
The tracks are molded as right and left links , and if you mount them correctly you don’t even see the pins
Check them out :
