most of the available 1/16 tank's are way to fast .</B></div> <div> <B>WW II tank's didn't had the "rocket" speed as some of the today's tank's .</B></div> <div> <B>a Tiger I max speed was just around 38 km/hr = about 24 miles/hour,</B></div> <div> <B>( in some documentation's I read also around 40 km/hr = about 25 miles/hour )</B></div> <div> <B>with an average off-road speed from 25 km/hr = about
