The rubber black application on all those interleaved roadwheels are going to aggravate a drinking problem I reckon.............or create one Mr HDP !!

That camouflage looks great. It's got that combination factory and field applied look to it. Weathered up as you describe will look righteous!

Been using E6000 to glue the 3D printed parts to my MDF houses because it sticks well to plastic and wood. I use that slightly rubbery black Loctite CA for roadwheels. Being black it hids any extra glue that oozes out.

On the 1st prototypes we actually printed seperate tyres in black tpu and glued them in place. In the end we actually resorted to ditching the tyres and went for solid wheels as they just were alot easier to setup and run. So yeah a bit tricky to paint the tyre, i suppose i could print a JIG to allow the user to rotate the wheel and paint the 'tyre' easierHERMAN BIX wrote: ↑Thu May 29, 2025 5:15 am The rubber black application on all those interleaved roadwheels are going to aggravate a drinking problem I reckon.............or create one Mr HDP !!

I cheated a bit. When I post more pics you will probably figure out my weasely compromise.

I've had the SdKFZ. 251 electronics back in since yesterday (Mon. 6/2) morning. There are a few bugs to work out, but this one has me puzzled.
Before painting the base coat and camouflage, I had tested the running gear. All was fine, the levers working just as I wanted:
Steering on #3 (left stick to left or right). Tracks forward and reverse on the right stick forward or reverse.
Now that I have re-installed the electronics, the tracks run as before, but the lever on my Flysky i6X works reversed. That is, to turn left, I push the lever right and visa-versa. Through the menu, I have tried the reversing function, double checked the motor connections, the servo connection, etc. I also checked other configurations through the Flysky i6X menu and check that the wiring seems not to be any different from beforehand. Nothing seems to fix the odd reversal of the steering off of the right lever (#3). Any ideas?
