The story goes as is. When I first build the hull of the King Tiger I was not knowing how to make the tracks for that size of vehicule, so in the mean time I decided to have fun and to build a 6 wheels vehicule. The 6 wheels was motorized with their own suspension and it was handling like a tank, one motor for the 3 right wheels and one motor for the 3 left wheels. It worked very well but my idea was to build a KingTiger, I just found it to look so nice and "tuff looking". I took advantage of an offer from Will Mongomery and bought the chain from him and used it to build the KT tracks with some heavy steel "U" channel. The result is very pleasant to me, not only it is so solid that I feel like I can do some crashing derby with it, but mostly its the sound it make that make me happy. Who need a speaker to add fake sound when you can have the real thing. My work keep me busy 50 hours/week and I cant place as much time as I would on it, but summer is still far away and I can start to think just at the turret now. Ah btw im up in Canada, Quebec near Montreal, the snow is not that bad, it seem a lot just because I blow the parking snow up the front yard like everybody here. Guy

I have run it in the front parking and I am please to see it doing a flawless run, I see the track tension was just right. Check it out in my Photobucket album, the" Snow Run", and listen to the sound of steal tracks, I just love that sound. http://s757.photobucket.com/albums/xx212/Gregtank/ Guy -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
