I so want to play with the single motor dual clutch gearbox (Sassgrunt supplied me with one). But simply stated the new stuff if so much better. I love the mechanical portion of these builds (my soon to be announced cooperative build with Monsieur Tox should explain).

Yeah I was going to replace it with some Torro gearboxes, but it’s just so neat, and I already have a Torro KT already, so I’m going to try to leave it.

Dude (my California raising) please do what you will! Some day I will figure out the right way to use that gear box.

Fabulous work on the exhaust! But avoiding scratches on a 16th battle tank (not in my wheelhouse).
