Default RE: RC military trucks


It isn't strictly a military truck although it was supposedly used to move heavy equipment by the Germans before and during the war years. I'm referring to the KAELBLE Z6WA2.

Please no off color comments about the price; it is what it is. The project to make this thing was a long standing
desire by the late Jochen Maier; he first offered it in 1996. I saw the prototype run while I was there that year.
Back then the model could be purchased for not even 1/3 of the current price listed. I was set to buy one but
house priorities preempted that. Jurgen Stehr later purchased the company from Maier, changed the name and upped the prices.

The model is 1/10 scale, very well detailed and can be purchased with a 10-speed transmission. It is cery impressive.
Jurgen has begun to offer options; basic kit that might bring in into the reach of many more potential buyers
than previously. I believe the most costly version, for that eye popping price is fully built but I could be wrong
