Re: [TANKS] Re: New here and thinking of building a half track
Just to let you know, Cerjak's transmission is expensive to build. It has been discussed here on more than a few occasions. When I priced out the non-fabricated parts a couple of years ago, cost of gears, etc. was over $500. Just a heads up.

I did find this web site http://members.tele2.nl/s_weggeman/CG.htm. I'm thinking of going with a modified version of that clutch system and running a Y harness form the steering servo to a clutch servo. As for the cast aluminum tracks. It's just a matter of making the wood patterns. I think there's about 80 links total on a Sd.Kfz.250; so, if I do 10 track patterns that's 8 pours for both tracks--not too bad. I have been doing aluminum sand casting for years and own all my own equipment. Right now I'm working on 6 trophies for the local Ducati owners group, I also did there trophies last year. I'd be willing to do rough aluminum castings a little over cost for people here if anyone's interested. I can cast up to 10 lbs of aluminum per pour. I can make the patterns or you can send me a pattern you have made. I'll get some pics up when I start casting parts for my halftrack. -- You are currently subscribed to the R/C Tank Combat group.

Sure, I have someI got mine at Radio Shack. Derek T065 On Sun, Mar 28, 2010 at 8:13 PM, Forlorn Foundry forlornfoun...@live.comwrote: Thanks for the heads up. I'll only be building the same type of clutch not the whole gearbox. The motor I'm using has a gearbox. One thing I'm having problems with is that on the plans it says to make the clutch shoes from PCB Epoxy/ sheet 1.6 which I have searched for and can seem to find, anyone know were I can find some? -- You are currently subscribed to the R/C Tank Combat group.
