Probably better to try a long lasting fix before it causes more damage and stresses the hull

Hell yeah, them tracks and running gear cost a small fortune, I totally agree, with the others, best to do it right the first time :thumbup:

I found the problem, the rear axle is bent. Not sure if we did it or it was done before, as it never ran nicely ( was told they all sound bad)

So with a little help from my CNC and boy we have
Image

Holes are tapped
Image

And the top trial fitted, near perfect.

What I do need is a supplier for these as they are really hard to get out of the old chassis.

They say Tamiya Green in the spray can is very close. It might be number 66, but I can't remember.

Blimey, that was quick!

Regarding the bushes, they're probably just ordinary bolts with the heads turned down and a hole drilled through the middle.
