Need help badPanzer Mark III Missing return roller wheels...

Post by Marc780 »

Does anyone know where i can find some replacement return roller wheels for a HL panzer mark III? If there are wheels from another kind of tank that are close i'd try them...I could simply swap three of them on that side if they looked close. I bought this tank off ebay and it is missing two road wheels and the mounts. the mounts are on the way from ali express but i cant find the rollers anywhere!

Hey there Mark.. I see you've converted everything to metal.... well not sure where you got those parts from but if you check Mato Mart
http://www.matomart.com/prodview.php?p=658
they have the entire set of bogies and guide rollers available ..Free Ship to boot

not sure what your budget is...but if you get the metal tracks and that smoke deflector from them in the same order you might qualify for 20% off...if you don't meet the minimum...you could also go for the metal hatch and storage box

Image
They also have the osketten.....but they don't come with the sprocket and idler...
Image
if you decide on these tracks ...get these tensioners ...they are a must
Image
The normal metal tracks come with the sprockets and idlers...you don't really need the tensioners for this :D
Image
They are also known on EBAY as RC Dynasty... which also has sale prices on the parts...you can see how things you want add up... and maybe decide which route works to your benefit...

Have a good one Mark :thumbup:

Happy TankingImage

Those are the osketten I got, hot of the press so to speak !
Didnt notice the tensioners though mate, good advice. I will contact Red Deer & get right on it, my mates due here in September for a business trip so he can bring them with him.

I think out of all the tensioners I've used ...these work the best and look the best on the tank... especially with the osketten... as you don't really want too much track slack in those...the wider base makes them prone to catching and binding...so with proper tension they track over just about anything :D

I even found a trick for installing them...so if you do acquire those little gems... give me a holla...and I will try to explain how I did it without chopping up the hull :D


Have a great week HermanImage
