Looking a lot better Phil easy fix I would keep my eye on those plastic tracks they are starting to rust already.
Stevie

Thanks again Phil

Finally did the mod... took a little while because i did something stupid.. but once that was sorted out.. it was easy as cutting pie.... looks great now.... and runs without any complications ....

.
Very impressive solution to the problem ... Shall we christen it the "PhilFix" .... probably going to be the standard
Mod to all T34's ..... a classic

"Thaumaturgy" (from the Greek words ?? thaûma, meaning "miracle" or "marvel" and ?? érgon, meaning "work") is the capability of a magician or a saint to work magic or miracles. It is sometimes translated into English as wonderworking.[1] A practitioner of thaumaturgy is a thaumaturge, thaumaturgist or miracle-worker.

Like your style Phil

HEAR HEAR!!! I second the motion

Stop it now I'm blushing!

At the moment I'm still modding my Sherman but I think I'll drag my T34 out of the box and start looking at it a bit more to see which bits need doing. Saying that I could by wise to wait a while because I'm sure someone will bring out track tension kit and other cool bits!

To help glue the blocks in place I used super glue and then baking soda sprinkled over the wet glue which sets rock hard.

Hi Phil,

I was surprised to find the HL leopard comes with track tensioners although not very useable so maybe same with the t34.

Apologies for jumping in Tankbear.... No such luck with the T34... tensioner wise...On the upside ..maybe Phil will invent one ... as i haven't located an aftermarket upgrade either...just hope he doesn't Patent it before sharing the idea

I had a thought last night about the track tensioners, if i order two of those giant woodlouse (the ones that curl up when they are moved, from the rain forest) and glue them to the hull with a bar running through their little but many legs out through a slotted hole in the hull.



I think it would work because every time the tank hit a bump they would curl up giving you the tension you want.

Just order two from Amazon.....

..and Patent applied for

Hentec do a tensioner for the t34.

can't find T34 Hentec adjusters. Looks like amazon have sold out of giant woodlouse, but have some giant pythons though!
