I only wish pop tarts had the calorific power to preform zero skid
turns in a 1/3th tank, if that was true I wouldnt need all the extra
weight that comes with 24 v of SLA :)
And Guy , you can build a tank with any petrol engine y

track? Dont need a big
engine for that and it make a simple and sturdy mechanic.

Dave i hope whenever your ready you will create a little monster of
your own in whatever scale and share the delights of landing many hits
on an unsuspecting foe.
And Steve I can only hope you get a shop soon, If you built a ride-in
all I`d have to do is copy your ideas , tanking made easy.
My sis
Nice work. I'll have to put a ride-in tank on the project list for when I
get a shop up and running again. The grandkids would love it.

It's amazing how much power tracks use up. When I first built the
Hetzer, I used 2 scooter motors at the same ratios as on the scooter.
Either motor would happily move me along on a scooter, but together
they could barely move a tank weighing 75 lbs or so.
Looks pretty good Neil. Is your "cunning

That's fynny though; they will send you only a set of 3 - a pair of long
ones and the shortie. THat's incovenient.
YOu can build beautiful things with them.

I have reached a milestone where I have one track turning under the
tanks power , I have a video to show my progress when it up loads .
the swing arms are simply in place with the road wheels resting inside
the track.

How're you proposing to spring them, mate? The Marder's real
