Hi guys,
Some news from torro. They plan to release the sd.kfz 251 this year.

Awesome news. They will use probably Trumpeter moulds like with M16 Halftrack.

Jeez I bet it will be worth a bagillion

*Sigh* better start saving the pennies...

Sure they are...now that I decided to convert a Trumpeter kit... The 35rctank kit will probably be superior to the Torro conversion anyway.

I doubt about this.
Trumpeter kit is made of injection moulded polystyrene.
Anything made of ABS will simply be better.

They just need to do this simple thing and it will be a better RC model.

Even if the model has shortcomings, it will be a sales hit, because every fan of German equipment wants to have the iconic Sdkfz 251 in addition to the Tiger.

About time

Thanks to Cath And Will I already have my Hanomag 251 in splendid detail

I have the Torro MRAPs, the GPA, and the M16. The GPA is the only one I've never had issues with, but I think that's because I've only had it out running in the dirt one time. It's the Torro electronics they keep using in all their stuff that is the problem.
