I reckon It could be either way, you know what there like sometimes they play ball and just when you expect them to perform in front of a crowd they let you down big time hahaha.
Im sure it will be ok although I must say its very quick off the mark might need to try some different gearing on it.... Is there a gearbox out there that makes it look more natural in moving ?

If we be talking tanks.... yup.... ...you can opt for a lower ratio gearbox....more torque and slightly better turning.... but a lot slower...Welsh should have a slightly better selection than Dave (forgebear) but you can always ask first...

What sought of ratio is there available to make it slower or rather what ratio is better

hi rich
you can use the black steel 4.1 or if you want to mod the base to take a set of waltersons gears then you can get down to a real low speed

I thought the watersons had a base that fitted straight into the tanks ? but you reckon this is the way forward for the gearing

they do come with a plate and they have 3 pinion gears that you can change to make them low
they have a 24 tooth and a 20 and 18 plus the late ones have a steel drive shaft not brass

What mod would need to be done to the base Dave ?

as they only fit the heng long base i guess the best way to do it would be to take out taigen plate and offer up the waltersons one on top and redrill the holes

Ah I see, are there any other gears that would fit straight in lol ... my noviceness is coming out can you tell im to afraid to go near her with any tools at the mo
