I like the looks of the VXB turntables better even though they are more expensive: http://www.vxb.com/page/bearings/PROD/Kit11279 Derek On Tue, Mar 12, 2013 at 4:04 PM, Pete Arundel wrote: > These seem like reasonably good value, gentlemen, and range from 6" to 12" > > http://www.alwayshobbies.

These seem like reasonably good value, gentlemen, and range from 6" to 12" http://www.alwayshobbies.com/components/turntables/turntable-bearing-ring There are some cheap wheels on that site too which may be of use for some tanks. Pete. -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Comb

Right now, its closer to a 1/4 scale t34 tank at 4ft (48inches)long, instead of the 38 1/4" of the T005 tying tank. I may cut it down latter to closer to 1/5 scale depending on how it looks. I want the extra strength as I am expecting this thing to be over 300lbs. I am planning on eventually p

You won't need those sprockets. In fact they may cause binding or dragging problems. As the track goes around not all the bogie wheels will move at the same pace especially if a rock or stick stalls one of them. Having those sprockets there may cause the track to stutter over them or get caught.

Oh I am only going to use a single strand per side and see how it goes. I think that the strength of this track will work fine for my use. I am also considering making a boggie wheel with a bearing sprocket sandwitched between the two wheels, at least on the front and rear boggies, to act as gu
