Okay that's about what I expected.  Again, thank you.

Could I possibly trouble you for an estimate of the specs (pin length,
width, and number, of hinges) and rough cost of your tracks per side.
I absolutely love the design.  Very professional looking.

Thanks in advance,
Mike.

[TANKS] Hello

2010-11-04 Thread immortal1...@gmail.com
First off I thought I should introduce my self. My name is Mike and I
live in Wisconsin, US.  A few weeks ago I happened to come across your
main web site and instantly knew I had to at least try to build one.
I gathered a few friends and we sat around in my basement and came up
with ideas and and materials and eventually came to the conclusion
that we would try to do it as cheaply as we could as we are all poor
at the moment.

We are trying to produce something very close to the Ha-Go #T052.  We
would like to make tracks out of hinges, but are not aware of any
place that sells them cheap enough to fit our budget.  I have spent
hours searching the net (specifically McMaster Carr) and local
hardware stores but haven't come up with much.  I am looking for
hinges with a pin length of at least 2".  Because we are on a budget
and because we will be using the tank as a recon vehicle for air soft
and not paintball, scale and aesthetics are not high on our list of
priorities.  We just need to find parts for a reasonable price.  Any
help given would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Mike.
