Thank Cliff
She's in heaven now and in no pain any more that was the hard part just watching her for the past month just was the worst for me the pain she was in and the drugs they had her on to stop the pain made her sleep a lot and just not her self .

That is too bad, but sounds like a better place for her. Cheers to her!

I took another way out on the sprockets and idlers I ordered Kenny Kongs 1/15 Bandai metal tracks with sprockets and idlers so wont have to cut up the Bandai road wheels to fit 1/16 .
I have a set of Kenny Kong upgrade 1/15 brass gears so will try the original gearboxes .

I think the bandai drive sprockets have a larger inner driveshaft diameter so you have to use the Bandai gearbox with them. I did not think the bandai gearbox was well made, although there are some gear upgrades for it.
