I can say for a fact that a turretless build like my Sturmtiger has TONS of room. Nice on a first build. I tried a smallish tank on my first build attempt...it wound up in the fireplace... ;) BTW, www.surpluscenter.com has tons of sprockets and such. I buy from them all the time as well as many on the list.
