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?
It's cool to see....there's been two so far...but it does make me wonder...because those bearings aren't really sealed that well...and could only deteriorate faster with water caught in them

Taigen's don't have bearings, just brass bushings.

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

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