HL M1A1 Aussie version...
Re: HL M1A1 Aussie version...
well so far my Track tensioner has taken a bit of a detour......seems DHL Germany doesn't know the difference between Australia and Austria.........LOL So far my parcel has left Frankfurt gone to Austria..sat around for 5 or so days and now is back in Frankfurt.....where next for our intrepid traveller??

Re: HL M1A1 Aussie version...
Track tensioner finally turned up!! Now just need 2 go about fitting on the beasty...
Re: HL M1A1 Aussie version...
fitted the Tensioner axle but still having some issues....mostly with hull issues as I drilled a hole in the wrong place and screwed up the install....some instructions would have helped LOL
After much messing about got one track to stay on but one side still walks off despite maximum adjustment...
Anyone know where I can get a bare M1A2 hull ?? Can't find any on evil bay at the moment.....might have to do a bit of a hull reinforcement where I stuffed it up.........or save up for a metal hull.
Does the Tamiya static kit have the RC kit metal chassis??
Cheers Bruce

Re: HL M1A1 Aussie version...
Yes it does. But fitting the Heng Long suspension would an engineering project I believe!
I fitted HL Gear Boxes to mine but used all Tamiya Suspension parts.

Re: HL M1A1 Aussie version...
Barry is that hull from the Static kit version or the rc version? does it not come with the torsion bars?? I might save up for the HL metal hull....or get a stock m1a2 7.0 HL as a parts beast...can never have enough parts.
Edit: I have noticed that the motor end of the HL plastic chassis has a lot of flex around the motor mounts. Came across this bracing kit on ebay that I might get.. plastic hull could do with a U shaped metal plate inserted where the motors mount
