I'm just sitting it out at this point waiting for the kit to be released. Am certain once its ready, they'll let you know.

Status: offline 		For those who've been waiting on the Hooben's T-55A....

Release has been delayed until first of the year as they wait for the electronics from Clark-Model.

Was told last week after the Toy Expo they only planned to offer ARTR but who knows at this point based on the price list:

Cost

Model:
Kit $147
ARTR $221
CSC/LNS $221

Chargers:
Auto $ 9
Smart $147

Cases:
Alloy $ 59
Wood $ 15

As they say in show biz... stay tuned.

Here's a photo of Tina so you guys know who you were chatting with along with several more of the T55.

All are direct sale at this point but they do have a dealer in LA who sells several of Ark's boat & sub kits. I'd presume he'll be carrying the tanks as well.

Right! Something will come along and you will have to have it. Denial is a sign of addiction.

Did you read my post directly above yours? I spoke with Feng, Hooben's owner, right after the show as well as his sales girl this week. At this point the T-55 is delayed until after first of the year while they wait for the electronics. If its released sooner, that will be great but I'm not betting the farm on it.

I've seen & held the prototype in Sept '08 shortly after it was assembled & again the Shanghai Model Expo this past June. What was shown at the recent Toy Expo was the same prototype model.

Why don't one of you RCTHQ members post an update over on Nev's site with a link to this thread. I'm sure he would love getting his "exclusive news" from RCU!

Status: offline 		Frank,

Regarding RCTHQ & their "exclusive" coverage, I've known about Hooben's involvement with Clark since earlier this year but kept it off the grid per Feng's request. Trying to do a system locally with a partner in China has been the big delay before they looked eastward to Taiwan after getting a few suggestions.

I've been lobbying for them to release a kit LESS electronics ever since I saw it last year.

The overall fit & materials used on the prototype were good. I've not seen the actual sprue or the instructions so not sure what the final product will be like.

Last I have heard was that Hooben plans ONLY to sell as an ARTR or RTR tank. Not sure why unless they've found several large customers in the EU or Russia who want it that way. I prefer the kit myself. As I said... stay tuned! Plans change here as often as the wind changes direction.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus China!

Chuck
