RC converting a 1/6 tank size is not the issue nor is it helpful in this scale the tank was purely intended as a static model and was thus designed and built this way, yes it could be converted to RC and the parts you could use are the upper hull and turret the lower hull and running gear would require changing as it’s just stirean plastic this may be ok for a 1/16 model but imagine the 1/16 model with 0.25mm plastic hull this would twist in every direction and would probably pull the motors out of the mountings in 1/6 scale the stress and strain on the hull are a lot higher and require larger and heavier motors to drive the tank not to mention heavier batteries this will double the weight of the original hull making the plastic tracks and running gear useless so all these parts would require changing to metal and these parts are not available and if they were then they alone would set you back well over 1000€ in short there is no cheap route into 1/6 with the exception of the Stuart, but I would delay like to be proven wrong at your own expense.

Field of Armour and Battle ready Armour are the same company with the exception of the Tiger the others are made from sheet metal of approximately 1.5mm thickness for around 800€ they can be converted to RC but require a lot of modification’s to achieve this, strengthening the hull is a must adding bearings to the wheels is another and I think you have to make your own suspension arms this is by no means easily done as there would be dozens around and of cause the price will triple by the time you have finished
