>>10885556nope. the aftermarket has everything needed for super detailing in 1/16. and you can do much more with paint in that scale. much much more.
but the real point is: these are rc. a 1/35 can be made rc to. but you will only have a barely movable wobbly hoppy tiny tank. the material dimensions dont allow serious gears and motors/momentum.
a 1/16 is big enough for batteries that give enough power and gearboxes/motors that give momentum. steel sheet lower hull. and a full option set from beier or tamiya that with almost cinematic sfx.
today the engine sound comes from museum originals and changes with speed/rpm, gun recoils and flashes etc.
already the latest chink tamiya clones arent to shabby anymore in that regard.
and you can plough tru the garden with it.
cats and dogs love it, as well as hippie neighbors.
