Hi Marvin, looks to be a good start with that lower hull. However those motors looks like they may be too long to fit, have you compared their length to the stock motors yet? Also what gearboxes do you have? If you put hi power motors in plastic gearboxes they may be stripped in short order. Not trying to spoil your build only trying to save you from the same mistakes I made.

As for the tracks try instant gun bluing and spray it on, turns them nice even black that will ware off on the edges but stay nice and black inside.

Hi thx jackalope for the tips the motors are the upgraded 3 times faster ones for the tank and the gears was my first buy b4 anything 3 to 1 steel slower speed but more grunt ie torque.my tracks were black metal but i primed so i could paint them used stone chip which turns to rubber its used on motor vehicles to stop chips on your car underneath and sides plus can be overpainted with paint .i shall be putting motors in next and since there sold as henlong tiger motor upgrade better fit .
