I've heard (actually read) all the short comings of the HOOBEN kit and I decided to get the static version and then just place Tamiya electronics and gear in it. I even got in contact with the people who made the thing and they will not sell any parts off the assembly line?
So, I figured it was my best shot at an Elefant so looks like another money pit but will be worth it once it's finished.
I mean, come on... REALLY? Aren't they ALL money pits?
