The track would twist under the first roadwheel and get pushed off. Could be an issue with tension like you said. Wired the batteries in series for 24v and speed is so much better. I tightened the tracks a bit more and it seems the combination of speed + tension is keeping the tracks on better.

Throwing tracks could be a bunch of issues. Could be the overall alignment, could be the tension, could be the suspension is too loose, the guide horns could be too small, etc. Is it throwing them from the drive sprocket or the idler end? If it's on the sprocket end you could do a channel down

[TANKS] Re: T093 Rebuild

Very nice ! I've been wondering about 3d printing the molds directly, as opposed to printing a master part and then making a rubber mold. If the mold was printed in PLA and waxed and treated with mold release, do you think cast parts would come out OK ? On Friday, April 24, 2020 at 7:23:41 PM

Yeah, I built a Locust with a lot of 3d printed parts. Currently working on replacing all those parts with cast plastic or wood. They just don't hold up to the beating these tanks get. I wouldn't count on a 3d printed tank body lasting long unless you babied it, and that's no fun. On the other

That's right, LiPo's, probably at 24v. Updates will be forthcoming. I'm working on making a master to cast new tracks right now. -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group. To post a message, send email to rctankcombat@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe, send email to

Re: [TANKS] M1 Motor left & right?

Nice! Sure seems to be the right way to do it given the space! Your tank being pretty short, you will probably use some smaller battery like LIPO?! Keep us updated man! Le sam. 18 avr. 2020 à 17:12, Caleb Smith <3219ca...@gmail.com> a écrit : > That looks like a really nice setup! I got my

[TANKS] M1 Motor left & right?

Hey guys, Been thinking about getting my Locust back in operation. Brushless drive is on hold till a suitable ESC solution is found. In the meantime I'm gonna install some 250w M1 style geared motors. They only come with the gearhead on one side. I thought I might have read somewhere on here

[TANKS] Re: where is everyone?

I'm still around. Been more active in the boat combat since battles here kinda died off. My Locust still doesn't have an ideal drive system but with no battling I haven't been to motivated to work on it. Would love to see some more activity. This hobby is too dang fun to let die. -- -- You

[TANKS] Re: 1/6 Stuart to M8 Howitzer?

As far as the hobby is concerned, it's perfectly fine if the tank barrel or projectile is out of scale. You can install a standard paintball marker and be fine. We all use them. In fact, a scale cannon would have to be 100mm+. That's uncommon for most tanks, especially older ones. If you want
