Toucan is a good company, they track what you watch and buy on eBay, the more you buy the better deals you get. They understand CS and how to keep customers coming back.
Motion RC could learn a few things about taking care of those that have been loyal and promoted their offerings.
HL metal servo recoil and elevation system.

That is very cool David. Toucan is indeed a good company to deal with. That is class 1 customer support right there.
But really, did you need another tank LOL.
Im going to drop a hint right now and say don’t do anything with that Sherman as I’m going to highly likely be offering HVSS conversion kits for henglong Shermans very soon. I myself have one of those I just opened as my prototype test platform. Stay tuned for more to follow in the new year.RC tank parts and accessories I make

DavidN That was very nice of Toucan, but like Rich said, do you need another? Especially a Sherman, LOL!
RichJohnson That's great news, can't wait...

If all goes well, I hope to be producing the HVSS kits I collaborated with in design in the next couple months. It’s going to get really fun with Shermans.

I am not touching the Hooben Fury. while the top looks good it can be fitted onto a tamiya or later once I am offering HL compatible HVSS, maybe it can be put on a HL chassis. Not my concern. There are not many of them out there at this point and its not what I am trying to market to. Sorry just not interested. Been there done that with a tamiya chassis.RC tank parts and accessories I make

You answered another question I had, and thats what you are developing (running gear or a whole new tank) and if just running gear, for what brand(s).

In case anyone missed this, Andy had a Easy 8 Sherman produced for his brand. It looks pretty decent, at 1/16 scale, but not really RC convertable unless your skilled way past my level (thats not saying much, I know). Being all plastic, it might as well be a Hooben look-a-like

From what I've seen from Andy's Sherman, the detail is far superior to the Tamiya Sherman or any other Sherman I've seen. I say that because it has all the casting, texture, and weld detail that the Tamiyas don't have. As it sits it is not suitable for R/C, but it would not be hard to put it on an already R/C ready chassis. The Tamiya is basically a plastic model made to be R/C. I own both the Andy's kit and a Tamiya Sherman so I'm not just going by what others have said. The detail on the Andy's Sherman is far superior IMO.

The Hooben by the way is detailed very well....and has a great scale appearance....but thats about it. Everyting else about the tank sux, including the plastic used to mold it.
