Herman, After the well deserved kicking the British Empire got from those poor SOBs at the receiving end, surely the least we could do is offer the best and most progressive in 21st Century education as practiced in British homes to the rest of the World.

I quite agree with Mr.Herman, the teletubbies are evil incarnate! Who would name ANYTHING Tinky Winky? What in thee hell were you all thinking? And here I thought warm beer was a bad idea then you give the world those things?! Just be glad the you guys are on such good terms with most of the world or it could have gone poorly for you guys.


As for my track issue turns out that I misunderstood Max's post and the tracks on the Imex site are NOT the ones I want, CRAP! The road wheels are indeed the ones with bearings but I sill need to find the Torro King Tiger tracks.

Oh and as it turns out my road wheels did have bearings in them but some how they disintegrated in 3 of the wheels, does anyone have any idea what went wrong? Bad bearings? Bad casting?

Over use !! ??
I'm fairly sure that if you look up the bearing by size and try to figure out its load rating & duty cycle, you might find you exceeded it

LOL! So you don't think they'll last forever under a 25lb tank?

Jack bearing in mind how overstressed the engine and transmission on the original Tiger 2 was how is it you who have covered more miles in your 1/16 version than the real thing ever did between overhauls are expressing surprise at the failing of a few wheel bearings,
You think the TELETUBBIES are evil incarnate you should study British history, a King meeting his maker by having a red hot fire iron shoved up his backside is the more gentle side of the body politic.

Mr Jarndice, if that horrific yet seemingly appropriate form of punishment was still available in current law, the makers of the F'n Teletubbies would be right for it

Shaun, yup know all about the red hot poker in the pooper as a reward for his homosexuality. When people refer to "the good old days" were they referring to this? God I hope not!


Yeah I have logged some miles on it haven't I? I know nothing can last forever but geez an hour deep in the woods is where it decided to crap out? Really? Carrying a 25lb tank dripping with mud and water wasn't nearly as much fun as getting it in there.

That would be a fitting END to the teletubbies wouldn't it!

Lucky you weren't being dive bombed as well !
Got to say your KT must be one of the high-milers in here.
Stuff wears out mate, thats why they make new ones.
For added realism, you should have a couple of RC trucks or-um- half tracks bringing up spares.

agreed!
