Thanks. Except upper hull and gerarbox, nohing from original Heng Long left. Thanks to Christmas discount on Torro Shop I've bought Taigen lower hull and bogies. Mato tracks have to be used with mato sprockets. Electronics was borrowed from another project for testing.

Don't know how I missed this. Excellent job Mr Kaczor
Do you find those Mato sprockets a bit of a lose fit on the ends of those Heng Long shafts before fitting the raining screws?

Yes. There is a little wobble. Ultimately there will be Taigen steel gearbox, we will see if there will be any difference.Son of a gun-ner wrote:Do you find those Mato sprockets a bit of a lose fit on the ends of those Heng Long shafts before fitting the raining screws?

Re: Soviet M4A2 (75) Sherman
I believe the Taigen shafts are a slight bit larger in diameter.
I've noticed those Mato sprockets are able to cause the screw to come undone while attached to Heng Long shafts, the load of driving back and forth can cause the sprockets to turn back and forth on the shafts, which unlocks the screw. Not always, but mostly the left hand side when it does.

It happened to me too. Also Taigen Sherman roadwheels tends to unscrew. Now I'm using thread glue everywhere.Son of a gun-ner wrote:I've noticed those Mato sprockets are able to cause the screw to come undone while attached to Heng Long shafts, the load of driving back and forth can cause the sprockets to turn back and forth on the shafts, which unlocks the screw.

Oh, not had that with the Taigen Sherman road wheels yet, but I'll take that warning, thanks
