Default RE: 1/16 Hooben/Arkmodel elefant tank build

Ive replaced the stock tus with tamiya KT tus , you have to file down the end of the tus for them to fit and re bore the holes but aside from that and easy very effective conversion. Weak points of the kit it would say is the suspension, without reworking very sloppy and really needs stronger springs IMO. Also due to this when running on grass so will throw tracks a fair bit (even with my modded suspension which has nearly zero play in it). Ive gone so far now as to have bough the asia tam metal tracks , which means the asia tam sprokets and suspension too!I shall let you know how it works out! Everything else is fine! elevation and traverse is good and the recoil works fine!
