Re: [TANKS] IcarusZulu M1A1 Progress and Build pics.
Are you using timing belts for tracks? I am tempted to use readily available timing belts in my new, light and small 7TP and be done with it. They should be max 118 cms long, each. 115 would do the job if I tensioned them accordingly. Light and flexible. No time for assembling another hinge track Chrys - Original Message - From: IcarusZulu icarusz...@gmail.com To: R/C Tank Combat rctankcombat@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, March 07, 2010 10:30 AM Subject: [TANKS] IcarusZulu M1A1 Progress and Build pics. I have completed the suspention and road wheels. Put it together to see what it looks like. Suspention works well can hold my 90kg bag of bones so i think it will work. I may have to soften up the tortion springs a little. I sent my motors into the the machine shop to fit new sprockets as the USA ones don't fit localy available chains here in South Africa (metric). Now onto the drive train, relays and batteries. http://www.spitbraaicatering.co.za/tank/m1a1progress.html I have included all the pics for my build for some of you just starting out.

Good looking suspension there. I wouldn't reduce them until the whole thing is built. Looks great so far though.
