1/18 RC Steyr 1500a

[PanzerLoco]

In order to fit they need to be 1" inside diameter. Most of the small-scale crawler tires are that size.
Looks like my tires will arrive in about 2 weeks. The ones in the link and the video I posted above look good but perhaps not as scale as your Hooben tires.

Dear HOBBY SQUAWK community
Quirk word to let you know that the 1:16 HOOBEN Opel Blitz tire is a NO FIT for the 1:18 STEYR1500A
The inside tire diameter is finally 1.25'',..
Sad since the tire pattern look so good. (yeah i know i could be annoying with my historical accuracy🤔)
Upon receving my STEYR1500A ; the only major flaw i could report is the already documented "Wheels lookin empty'' visual of the car.

I gonna put the HOOBEN tire in good use with a reorganisation of my STUGIII stowage.

Tried to enchanced the windows of my STEYR1500A with the ''Look like Glass'' from Deluxe Material (UK).
1st time ulilizing this product.
By doing so; Layers applied with brush.
Visual improvement obtained.
BUT definetely not perfect.
Beside dippping the entire window; which is the most efficient method from my understanding
Any advice on how to maximise the potentiel of this product?

For those considering also testing the towing capabilites of the Stery1500A,..
My choice is a PAK40,.
Aarghh (à la Homer Simpson) ; replicating history !!

Turned out better after I did a bit of weathering....

The new tires for the Steyr finally arrived yesterday. Look much better.

Crazy idea; modifying the seating capacity.
To obtained the Kfz.70 version of the Stery1500A (eight-seater personnel transport).
Imagined this vehicle w/ Panzergrenadier armed to the teeth !!

Oow! I like that. More pictures please. Any build thread?

I like those tires. Have you got a link to where you got them?

[Sureshot]

I got the new tires from Amazon;

Honestly (obviously) the ''crawler'' universe is a market totally unknow to me.
Those Crawler products reveal a immense potentiel for the RC Tank enthusiast.
The Steyr1500A is a significant (complementary) addition to any RC tank fleet.
Also in comparison; definititely a stronger built than the TORRO Schwimwaggen t166.

I already start dreaming of the possibilities for a next release utilizing a crawler chassis,..

[PanzerLoco]

Oow! I like that. More pictures please. Any build thread?

Steyr static model picture i found on the web to illustrate the 8 seater configuration; not my creation
indeed great work of art!

[PanzerLoco]

For those who considered upgrading the stock tire of the Steyr1500A.
Found this on the site of Austrian suppliers FertigungsWerk16
The site is in Austrian German language.

I think I'll stay with my five dollar Amazon tires.

oups, believe me or not.
I didn't see the price when i post this.
My name is not LOCO for nothing!
Good lord; speaking of the Steyr1500A.
I just pay too many $ for a 21stCentury PAK40 to be towed by my STEYR1500A.
Except the rarity factor (21st century PAK40 went out of business in 2006 i think)
For some reasons i though it was die-cast build cannon; but it's just plastic!!

cheers! PZ Loco

Any idea on how to bind the remotes to these cars. Banggood sent me a new remote but I don't see any instructions on how to sync them.

[SoCalBobS]

If it's like a lot of other simple 2.4g remotes, simply turn on the truck, then turn on the remote. Should be automatic. (Maybe it's the other way around, but same result.) Info is on page 6 in the leaflet. Hope it works.

[Milspec1]

I've tried every combination possible and still can't get it to work.

[Milspec1]

I've order 4 Stuart's and this piece of crap from Bangood and there's been something wrong with every one of them. I was able to fix all the Stuart's.
