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.

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

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.

Here is the white table Semi Track video again.

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.
