Making the Ketten move...

[ausf]

Hey guys,

Just wanted to show a bit of progress on my 1/16 AD Kettenkrad. Love the kit, but was disappointed in the performance, fairly slow and the gearbox was very loud. The real thing was capable of 49 mph, the kit was no greater than a walking pace, scalewise. After looking at the limited options due to the size of this thing, I decided to work on the gearing itself and ended up removing a gear and adding some washers to reduced noise.

It's full out in the video, I just wanted to see how fast it was with the new gearbox and have since added some expo and travel adjustment to the Tx to make it more scale-like, but the performance is there.
