I think your tank is absolutely wonderful, 
I hope you plan to enter it in battles.

[TANKS] September Shoot-out

2013-08-26 Thread teddy cameron
I hoped to get my Sherman up and running by mid-September, but Tank Time keeps 
getting eaten by other activities.  
Either way, I will at least show up to cheer y'all on.

Sounds good.  There are always spare assets to be operated.  Throw in a 
BBQ lunch feast and it's a can't miss event.

 Ah !  yes I see,  I dont know why but I thought you were in the US, 
 In that case I hope you and/or a buddy makes more of these things and you 
start the battling in  your part of the world. 
 I`ve been enjoying your tanks progress from its start and although I 
wouldnt call you progress fast  it is most certainly sure.  
 please continue this very good work.

Where did you get the C2060H A1 chain? I am desperately looking for some in 
the USA.

 Put on track so it’s ready to spin over and load test it.

  

 Will lift a pallet up under the tank to take its weight (and that of the

 Once that is done I will be able to cut the tracks to the right length and 
 join them, then I will be able to run them up to see were the road wheels 
 will want to track.

  

  

 You can see here the suspension units running along the inside of the hull

Re: [TANKS] Re: suspension in and ready for testing

2013-08-26 Thread Derek Engelhaupt
I found some Rexnord 1864K4.5 chain for my KV-2 that runs on 60 pitch
sprockets.  Got it for about $100 for 20ft. of it on Ebay.  I made the guy
an offer for half of what he was asking for it and he sold it to me.  Looks
like this only this one is 3.25 wide:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-REXNORD-TABLETOP-CARBON-STEEL-CHAIN-3-1864K3-25-/200271502071?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0hash=item2ea11c9af7

The steel pads actually come off the chain, but they are a bitch to remove
and to re-install.  They will not come off in a battle.
