Wheel covers look great, and a terrific Leopard.

Thanks mate,I have been looking at some of that camo netting you can put on the tanks,been thinking of getting some white,thought it would look sick,just thinking about visual upgrades??

"A miss my tank till I'm back" Oh, I hope you arent' married: if you are, you will soon learn that your wife packs a 155 mm punch.

Wow, you really aren't that good with metric measurements, 155mm is slightly over a six inch wide fist, we're talking Sasquatch dimensions. . . .

"155mm is slightly over a six inch wide fist, we're talking Sasquatch dimensions. . . ." Well, Son of a gun-ner, you are fortunate never to have met an angry woman: you would know about her Sasquatch fists.

You guys lol you make me chuckle.

By the way I was wondering a thought but how long do these steel tracks last before replacement? Just curious really as real tanks need track replacement after a while,are rc tanks the same? I presume the tracks wear wear out.

[Herr Dr. Professor]

Hmm... I could guess that the track pins might become loose after some time of outdoor running, but as little as I run my tanks, not in my lifetime. In fact, I don't know why I keep choosing metal components: I have a Chinese ZTZ99A over a decade old, all plastic, and it's still like new.

Fair enough then lol it was a thought in my head earlier I was wondering about it but I ran the tank alot on the garden earlier and none of the hub covers I glued on yesterday came off so it's worked bang on,the steel ones I will never bother with now,they can stay in the box.

Like anything, moving parts will wear out eventually. It's just a case of how much use and abuse those moving parts receive.

There are track adjusters for such eventualities, and always worth considering along with sprocket drive shaft bearings

I have no idea if mine has the drive shaft bearings? With it being the latest one from henglong I don't know if they fitted it to the tank or not,it's built a little bit different from the old leopard 2 tanks,torsion bar suspension etc.

[Son of a gun-ner]

I don't think they fit those bearings to any off the shelf plastic tanks.

Does the tank need them? Or is it ok without them?
