Then disaster :BH

One of the track drive sprockets came loose so a strip down to get to tighten up the grub screw :AR

Hi kiaser,

Yeah the grub screw was a pain, but loctite added now so fingers crossed never again.

Also done a top speed test :S measured it over a 10 second period and got 900mm so that worked out 90mm/s which is inline with the real thing which can do up to 100mm/s

Still need to make a cab interior.

Yeah they do an interior, but wasn’t part of my kit and didn’t realise until after I ordered it.

But I want to make my on so I can fit it out with fibre optics so lights up

Also picked up a cheap RC articulated dump truck from one of the other tank club members, so now got somewhere to place the shifted sand.
