Sherman Tam

Post by Jofaur86 »

Hello :D
what do you have an idea? to modify the rear roller tensioner system (which slide) on a Sherman Tam? the Mato is not compatible, due to the type of tracks that are not identical? thank you for any advice :thumbup:

I can't see 3rd party alternatives online, Jofaur. Guido Henn (http://www.henntec.de ) covers many models, but not the Tamiya Sherman.
There was a recent discussion on the Tamiya Sherman suspension, and idlers here:

thank you for the answer, indeed there is nothing concrete, for this type of tank, it is a shame, not only the vTam system is not great and in addition does not reflect the reality, looked for modified the metal Mato, but not really found any solution?

It might be worth contacting Guido. I seem to recall that he has done custom work in the past.
