Re: Early m4a1
As Mick pointed out, I have also used the heng long bogies with a set of mato wheels, I chose to use them as they have rubber tyres and are a little wider which was good as I've also used a set of mato tracks. The first 2 pics show the converted bogies and the last pic show the mato wheels fitted but before I converted the bogies, this doesn't make any difference to how the wheels fit though
Cheers, Lee.

Re: Early m4a1
Don't forget to drill out the spokes on the idler wheels also if you've not already done so
Cheers, Lee.

Re: Early m4a1
Ok, so I've just taken an up to date pic, this is how it stands now, notice that I've also added a set of lifting rings to the first and last bogies on both sides

Re: Early m4a1
They are a set of metal mato idlers Mick but I substituted the front of them with the original plastic piece with a little modding as it was easier to drill the holes in and it still retains its strength as the main part is metal
Cheers, Lee.
Ps. ( I'll get around to starting a thread on it one day )

Re: Early m4a1
My issue with my idlers are they are metal and I have no plastics only the road wheels are plastic
