Oh ok, thanks for the tip on weathering, that may straighten it out. I just saw this vehicle in action on the Dirty Dozen last night Super cool machine.Jimster wrote:I think with paint and weathering your body panels/hood would look just right for a hard working piece of German war machinery. Whatever you decide to do I’m sure it will be a nice model.

Managed to do a video of the Semi Track. It is not easy driving it and recording at the same time.
In this video the S-Track is powered by a 2s lipo and will go faster than the scale like speed shown in the video but that is risky when doing a white table run shooting video because one wrong move and off the table it goes to a hard floor which would certainly end its carrier as a RRC model
So I present this video of the Tamiya 8 Ton Semi Track on the white table. https://youtu.be/srGVVRLsvHI

- Shown here are 2 other 1/35 Semi Trac builds from some time back. I now feel that these were crude attempts compared to my latest effort.

Thanks you so much for the kind words. This is the first time I have heard this expression. I do so enjoy sharing my hobby interests with the international community of model RRC enthusiasts.silversurfer1947 wrote:Excellent. I doff my hat to you.
Here is the white table Semi Track video again.

- That stock front end that has had a servoe added works very good. Here you can see some suspension travel. This is how I like to see a RRC model look, like it was not modified but has full RRC function.

I decided to finish the assembly of this model today but first here is a video of the Halftrack climbing the hill.

I finally have it perfected mechanically and now time to finish the model. I also got the factory on\off switch working.

- nice deflection in that stock front axle assembly keeps at least one wheel on the ground for decent steering control.
