:O A scratch built model is usually worthy of the greatest praise; but one which also includes with scratch built gearboxes... 8O well... That's real genius :clap:

This is indeed a nice build! Using compact brushed motored and face to face gear reduction units (what reduction option did you go for?) is a bit of a novelty in tanks but any solution that then utilises bevel pinion gears gears gets my vote and brings back memories of 1960s tuning options for slot racers! :thumbup:

Keep it coming :)

I'm using standard gear motors 25mm, 12V, 400RPM with 1:1 bevel gear.

Some main steps forward…
Because there is no (early) gear for German tanks available, I‘ve designed it myself.

Attached to the tank and after applying a light grey primer, the build with its details is better visible.

Because the weather was fine my Panzer II Ausf C made his first moves 8) .

The tension of the suspension is too stiff; I’ve to adjust a little.

For the one who is interested in this kit, is available now:
