RE: Mato 1/16 Jagdtiger
Yeah,......it's been common knowledge lately that this is coming out.
If you're feeling like you just can't wait....you can always join this ridiculous bidding to be one of the few to have it....... for the time being that is.

Yeah, for a plastic track version, that ebay listing is too far out from what I'm willing to pay....if I even got it at all. It would be one thing if it had new and improved electronics....but I suspect it would be no different than the electronics people have complained of from Mato.

Looking at the distance between the rear idler wheel and last roadwheel it looks like they have built it on the Kingtiger chassis making it about an inch to short

Those are the pictures the seller posted on that ebay link.
I agree with Ian, it looks like the KT was dropped on the lower hull....Still would be a nice addition to ones collection.

RE: Mato 1/16 Jagdtiger
Uh huh. And I'm looking at the ebay photo of the upper hull and see the front plate is deformed....or is that an optical seclusion?
As for the Mato JT, rumor has it that it is the correct length. Not having one in my hands, I can not verify one way or the other.

RE: Mato 1/16 Jagdtiger
this is a good kit but in resin, that not to good for Rc use ... and it is the Porsche chassis not the Wellknown Henshell variant.
You can buy at wecohe a alu correct lenght chassis and build this into the rc version but it would take a lot of work but would unique there were not much 1/16 Jagdtigers converted into modellers collections anyway, i knew no one who done it so far.
If you have the skills i would say take a go you won't regret it but count the electro and gearboxes into consideration, are not into the kit, but is well detailed at the just scale
Anyone have expierence with Juwa Kits here on the forum?

RE: Mato 1/16 Jagdtiger
Sounds like you have quite a lot of experience with the Wecohe conversion, Karel.
Whats the price for the complete conversion kit?
Thanks

RE: Mato 1/16 Jagdtiger
The only "Jagdtiger" available right now is a Tamiya King Tiger kit mated with Jagdtiger accessories. Price for Jagdiger accessories needed for the coversion from Wecohe is about $1,200.00 (US). Tamiya Full Option King Tiger Kit to bash will cost you $450.00 to 700.00 (US).
You could also use a Matorro King Tiger, but you'd have to replace nearly all of it's internals to get everything working. You'd be over the price of a Tamiya KTkit most likely.
This all assumes that you can still buy the parts from Wecohe (which you can't get all of anymore). Once together, you'd need to upgrade the transmissions and tracks to make it a reliable outdoor runner.

You don't want to know what I have in mine....nor does VCO. Fortunately I bought all the parts some 5 years ago before we got hitched, but.....she don't need to know!!
