I got into a debate with another 1/144 boat battler about joinery vs glue. If I'm building something that will take impacts, I use joinery AND glue :) He maintained that glue alone was sufficient. We agreed to disagree, but I expect that glue and screw is plenty strong enough. If you hit another tank with enough force that it ISN'T, I expect that you'd be exceeding the G limits of components or overstressing driveline pieces-parts. lol...i was taking into account also for the chance of getting hit by another battler and that a simple butt joint could use a bit more strength that glue and screws. don't know about myself exceeding G limits, but thought if a 150+ pound tank where to bump into this one, it would feel more like 300+ plus upon impact - that and if i somehow hit the only tree in my back yard while learning to operate it during maneuvers Chris, _Odyssey Slipways_ (http://hometown.aol.com/odysseyslipways/index.html) -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
