This IS just 'wishful thinking' on my part but what are the chances?Įver since I saw Dan's great build back in 2008, I have been convince that this is a good platform to start with. They have surely noticed your and others AMAZING conversions.Īnd now, if they're selling their static Shermans for $200, they could reissue an RC Sherman at $600-700. The 'Powers That Be' at FOV are obviously WELL aware of the growing 1/16 RC tank hobby and just may be thinking about getting in to that market. Heck, they already have production of the tracks and molds for the hull/turret. Then leave the electronics up to the customer. All FOV would have to do is upgrade to the metal suspension and sprockets (like the metal ones for Mato on ebay), make a metal hull, install good gearboxes, and leave out the interior details. I was also checking out the metal suspension and sprocket/rear idler for the Mato Sherman.Ī thought went thru my little brain: What are the chances that FOV has decided to sell off their stock of static Shermans and then coming out with a new RC version? As you said YHR, the tracks are GREAT and hold up to RC use fine. I now noticed the Sherman is listed on ebay for this price.
Thanks YHR for referring me to your Sherman Conversion posts! It's VERY educating and you've did an EXCELLENT mod!!!
