Re: mattoro King tiger
next is to make a nice new ally plate to mount the gearboxes on and also these need to be set at an angle so the sprockets srent mounted to high and also to clear the suspension arms

Re: mattoro King tiger

on second thoughts lets not go to Camelot ,it is a silly place
Re: mattoro King tiger
yea pretty much had to make 2 plates one angled and the other flat though

ITs looking good,, is it too late because you might want to raise the front drive sprocket, the stock Matorro is kind of low! PM sent..fv432 wrote: yea pretty much had to make 2 plates one angled and the other flat though
