Sorry,I should have paid closer attention to the pictures,but the slots appear to allow up and down wheel movement,but their are no springs? Can't really tell so how are the wheels attached?Sax

Ive thought of that ;D ;D not sure if the Egyptians use them though. Your right about the running gear, MAJOR let down, though looking at it, it wouldnt take much to retro fit a Pershing set on them.

Quick up-date. Have just 'Super glued' the spring clutches in place as they were far too anoying, and......OMG!!! handels superbly, and with the track tension rollers I added its nigh on perfect. The only thing I realy need to sort out now is range.......doesnt go very far before you lose signal with it. Any suggestions?

Sax, what price have you seen for these tanks? ive seen them on Tankzone for £109 and on E-Bay uk for £79. The E-bay vendor also the Leopard. Bear in mind that these tanks are incredibly light so that might lessen the shipping to the States.
