    With a painting job + decals w/ maybe some slight modifications
    To recreate the Volkswagen Kommandeurswagen Typ87
    the four wheel drive version of the Volkswagen Beetle
    that was produced from 41' to '44.
    Like the Steyr1500A; nice addition to any RC German ww2 tank fleet.
    cheers!! PZ Loco

    Can they make the video WITHOUT that awful music?!!! For now, I just turn the sound off hoping that there is no narration or explanation about what they are showing.

    And if I read correctly, it might only cost $20 more than the M5.

    Tamiya has just announced an update to their venerable Leopard 2A6, but with improvements like metal suspension arms:

    I love that! A Coolbank Stuart wired with IR is on my bucket list!

    Y'know, you don't HAVE to use full throttle on the Stuart, but you can!

    Was hoping for a Cromwell or Mathilda version from Coolbank.

    every tank Coolbank has shown video of is ridiculously fast, I'm guessing they're using a board that doubles for RC cars etc, but the M5 is hoot to drift aRound in the snow ")

    Coolbank posted some info on his FB page regarding a Matilda II. He showed a render of a suspension part and stated the suspension was very complicated but he is working on it. He did a great job on the M5 suspension. I wouldn't expect the Matilda for a year, though. I encourage folks to visit his site to express support for the project. Also, even though some say the real Crusader had a bad reputation, I recommend supporting Coolbank with their wallets when it is released.

    Very true, my plastic M60 with bearings is impressive as all get out, I can run a ruler down the centerline smooth as silk.

    The LeClerc is aTongde product. The Crusader is under development by Coolbank. They are separate companies now.

    Motion would not tell you if they knew. That is just how they do things. Most likely we will see a new or reworked HL shortly after the CNY.

    Currently HL has been focusing their efforts on improving their tanks by adding torsion bar suspensions and ditching the old spring suspensions. This is a direct response to trying match TDs suspension offerings. Competition breeds improvement's especially when the competition is in your same price point and targeted market segment.

    HL had best step up their game as TD is catching up fast.
