That video and the one on the Abrams sprocket modification offer some straightforward, simple, free, effective improvements.

Clear, concise, and highly practical- Mr T-A-L. :D :thumbup: All these wee tricks and tips add to the growing fund of knowledge, accessible here on RCTW.
Personally, I prefer the side-acting elevation units to the rotating wave-form type- precisely because the scope for tweaks is greater. I found this to be especially so, when used in scratch-builds- where positioning the whole elevation unit forwards slightly, or to the rear- with forethought, of course, can a have a profound effect on elevation and depression. The modern world, however, is depressing enough perhaps, for us not to want to add to it. :lolno:
Keep tweaking, and keep posting :thumbup:
