Re: Sherman in the Mud
What enters my mind when seeing photos of these tanks in the water...especially Taigens ....is there any concern for the bearings in the wheels?

Taigen's don't have bearings, just brass bushings.ALPHA wrote:What enters my mind when seeing photos of these tanks in the water...especially Taigens ....is there any concern for the bearings in the wheels?

That's cool...should be no problem then...thought the pre release info said they had bearings...could have been the T34 though

Re: Sherman in the Mud
Even with plastic a shot of graphite dust onto the bearing surfaces helps keep fine gunk from clogging up the bearing surfaces.
