RE: [TANKS] Metal Tracks - spin casting

[Guy Gregoire]

Woow... beautifull work, they are beautifull those tracks in metal, this will 
make that RC Panzer IV very reliable. and it will sound right from itself 
when running.  Congratulations, I am very happy to see that, as I was thinking 
about your PZ4 for my next project let me know when they are available.  (

Subject: [TANKS] Metal Tracks - spin casting


FOA has entered 'a deal' with a US supplier to make their beautifully accurate 
Pz.IV tracks and Idler wheels into metal! 

The attached video is the result of this work 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6-Y6RGBfBY

I called this tank an "easy" conversion because there is a simplistic 
suspension system with each bogie swinging around an axle. Otherwise, the tank 
is a "static tank" conversion.
