Nice work again Ron! Nice job on the sprockets and all.
About the distance between the two suspension parts: you can rest the rubber block against the upper suspension part...the rubber was a bump stop and the suspension would sit on it in 'normal' mode (on flat ground)
Cheers

After a week playing with hot water and a hairdryer the tracks are in place  I have placed the figures on a plastic pipe and must make the pipe a little shorter for a better fit off the figures. Placed some small parts, test fitted the towing cable for the right lenght, its a little to long. Made some mus on the inside off the fenders (no picture off it) so that I can place them tomorrow with a little luck. I must removed four wheels because I was forgotten to place the mud scrapers by the drive and return sprockets    |

Nice to see this beast is still moving forward Ron! I'm sure working with those tracks was an adventure all by itself.

Thnx guys. I have correct the last things such as the fenders and for now some other small stuff that I`m not happy with. Thnx wbill76. The tracks hmmmm I never build a vehicle with tracks again, its take me more time than the whole vehicle and they are still not perfect Tracks are rarely perfect, Ron ..... that's why there's so many different ways to make mud! That's explains why they used mud on there tracks |
