Hi guys,
I think its already 2 years ago I started to build a 1/6 KingTiger in 16g.
steel, and when I got the hull done
as usual the Tracks come to mind and maked me stop a bit. Having lots of
wheels around I placed under the
KT hull six of them, all six motorized with a system of chain and sprockets. I
played around with it in summer
and in winter on the snow. Few months ago I taked the occasion Will Montgomery
offered with some of his
extra rolling chain #2060 to use to make the tracks.
So the wheeled KT entered back in the shop and got rid of all his wheels,
sprockets, chains... and is being
refitted as KingTiger tank. I have also found what I think the perfect motors
for it, wheelchair 24v with more
power than needed. The motors have even a gear reduction box onboard that do
perfectly to copy the one
on the real KT.
Here the link to see a few pics of the restoration project...
