RE: [TANKS] KT rolling hull

Nice work - is that some kind of U-channel steel that you have cut up to make 
the track pads?

Hi, I worked on my King Tiger Hull since I got the rolling chain from Will.  I 
worked hard to
make 120 steel pads with teeths, 60 both sides.  All the important parts are 
installed and
work good.  I use 24v. build in gear reduction motors intended for wheelchair.  
The tank
itself is all made out of 16gage steel welded together.  I used a 1/35 tamiya 
KT as model
to make the 1/6 scale Hull.   With one ESC RS80D, 2 gelcell 12v. and my Spectrum
receiver it work very well.  In fact you can feel the wooden floor of the sheed 
vibrate as
I was doing the rolling test as seen in the video.  you can see pictures and 
one video at:

Maybe this KT is up for his nomination.  In any case I will continue to work on 
it and
I have to build from scratch the turret and all.  I have to do my 1/6 plans for 
it so it
will be time consuming...but I love that hobby :)

[OdysseySlipways]

nice!
 
what kind of channel is that you used for your tracks? how wide and tall is 
 the links? might be a possible replacement for my tank if these resin 
links  wear down too fast
