just looking at your tracks - would you benefit any of adding small pieces
of wood onto the inner wood strip from the bolts to the outside edge? use
it as a guide to help keep keep the tracks in place (vs the little dia of
the bolts) and also give you something to thread your bolts into (rath

Heck I bent 3/4". The Bulldog had two 48ahr SLA's that weighed about
37 pounds each. Run all afternoon without a recharge. :-)
The Bulldog's fighting weight was pretty close to 220lbs. Running into
things either broke the tank or the thing it hit.

Wow Fred, you bent 5/8" axles? I've been using 1/2" axles and the only
time I've bent them is when the tank was supporting close to 300lbs (me

You could use the same suspension but have different drive sprockets,
idler, and road wheels by using 2060 attachment chain. This would
pretty much solve the "throwing a track" problem. You could also
design the track plates to have a more "authentic look" and you could
bundle the whole thing up as

Bore sight on the + and all you have to do is bracket your target within
the curved stadia lines and the elevation is set correctly. (Note

I think active sensor tech is a blind alley (get it, blind in bright
sunlight... ;-). Passive is the way to go. Two pivoting cameras with an
image overlay (ie, an optical rangefinder) is the correct path for the
hobby and worthy of the efforts by Joe, Doug, and other equally skilled
