Yes. I will put a small O ring in the center of the front wheel for better traction.

I wanted to keep the cost really low. I had Tamiya 70188 Mini Motor Gearbox (8-Speed) Kit https://www.pololu.com/product/1682 https://www.pololu.com/product/1682 at home. It is not ideal, but it does the job.

A cheap china made ESC.

I have already broke three one. Drilling small holes than used 0,5mm steel wire. Soma CA and now it works.

There is a hungarian guy who makes high quality tracks for metal. https://www.facebook.com/Attracks/

If you are interested we can design metal tracks for this kit. I want to buy one set, but if we order togather the prices will drop :)

Interesting. I see this guy makes also track for PzKpfw 38(t) and other models. Tracks for 1/16 Stuart would be great too ;)
