WOW! [X(] That thing is awesome...what a great paint job! I have an FG MB, but I'm not familiar with the Hormann HT1; in fact, I've never heard of it. I love that it is all aluminum!

I was planning to buy either a Lauterbacher or a Mamba within the next six months...your buggy has made me think that I had better look around and do a bit of research before I buy anything.

I hate to ask a bunch of questions, [] but...

Is this your first Hormann?
Is the motor a 26cc?
Did you have to upgrade it from stock or did it come with all of that alloy?
Will you keep us posted about your likes and dislikes?

Hobby BoB

Yes it's my first one before I had a lauterbacher also fine car
Yup 26 cc
no you don't have to upgrade all alu is included
Yes I will later Ill post a vid here

here is the website of hormann http://www.hoermann-modelltechnik.de/

Please say that car is £1000+ and not ~£700 (FG Leopard range) does it come with pipe as well?

Hobby BoB

donno in £ but in euro's it's 1550 with pipe without servo's, radio and baterries

hellya

Thats $1875 US or 1028. GBP

Mad Wax

That's ok then (quite a bit more) how much it cost to upgrade to that spec?

Also anyone notice one on the right has wider rear tyres? and Leopard style pipe mounting (one on left Marder style)

fourwheeler

Simply awesome paint job!! Nice and simple but mainly NICE.

Hobby BoB

it cost 1550 to get it like this it's not a leopard a leo is a very expensive car for not much when you want to upgrade a leo to this the leo cost you 2 times as much

Mad Wax

So comparing the HT1 to a standard FG chassis the HT has got the following..

Alloy front & rear suspension A arms, steering arms, suspension arms
Alloy RC plate
Alloy spur/pinion mount
Alloy engine mounts?
Alloy diff housing
Wider rear tyres (King Cobra?)

Hobby BoB

First find out what the HT1 got then come back m8

Mad Wax

Can only tell so much from the pictures. I've gone into checkout and added upgrades if I were upgrade stock to spec and it works ataround 950 Euros, and even then probably missing items (alloy turnbuckles, alloy gear carrier?) so that HT1 is a great price. Does it also have a higher quality diff as well?

These are the two that I have been considering, but I do not know anyone who can give me any information as to the true quality of either. I suppose that I will also have to try to find out as much as I can about the Hormann HT1, as well. [sm=drowning.gif]

If you consider the prices, you can guess which one I am leaning towards.


LAUTERBACHER L 3 Super-Cross (left)

"The car is a complete aluminum construction, the only plastic you find are the well known red joints (available in red and yellow) used by nearly everyone here in Europe and the body fasteners. The engine is flat down, for better weight balance."

£1,258 = $1,521.42 USD

- Performance HD Air filter
- Dual rear disc brake pads
- Clear 2mm toughened body shell

DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...I guess I entered the price under Euros instead of Pounds. [sm=rolleyes.gif] Sorry.

I like my prices better... [:-]

Looks like I will be saving for a bit longer than I had anticipated if I want something that is all aluminum. [&o]

Crap. [sm=tired.gif]

Mad Wax

Could O.P. put "not dial up friendly!" almost killing my DSL connection.
Also not good to convert from GBP to US, we probably pay quite a bit more. Try and find $ within the US.

Damm! that looks Disgusting mate

I kind of was thinking about getting a HT1, but I did not have the finds to buy one and they are more for the professional off road racer person.

At the Nene Valley Raceway club I belong to there is two guts that have HT1's they are reall good cars and really do handle well and are built very well to.

The rrp on the HT1 is about £1200 with out servos radio batteries etc.. there is two versions on them...a RACE version and a Normal version.
