Are those tracked finished using the vinegar trick? If not what method? All looks great.

I wish I knew

Honestly I got them and they were waaaay too rusty! So I attacked them with a steel brush and WD40
They look much better now

It is the board and controller I still have to figure out
It needs a brain

Ask MichealC

You do realize Mark.... the tank is too clean for those tracks

...your task at hand now is to replicate the same rust ...only on the tank

...That's one heck of a lot of grime you are going to have to simulate.... GREAT FUN

Had a bit of spare time tonight
I made a cover for the motors and gears to stop the grease splashing all over the place
Out of styrene.

Last night I fashioned a bracket for the jack. Not perfect but good enough

Tonight I am going to order a Clark board from immortal hobbys so I can bring this beast to life

My 2nd hand radio arrived today and I got a notice that the paint and magnets shipped.
Getting excited
