M3 and RAM style early bogies

Testing out a new 3D printed M3 running gear. This may become a kit I sell. It uses the Henglong M4A3 running gear parts and is a fairly easy swap to do. The bogies are 3D printed and equipped with bearings running on an 1/72 (1.8mm) x 1" screw and nut which works out almost to scale for the nut on the outside. These wheels are Shapeways but I prefer my own 3D printed where the tire is seperate from the wheel. Also a hell of a lot cheaper!!! Going to have to wait a bit for actual testing...

Yeah shapeways are expensive which is why I will just drill the a3 wheels. It won’t be exact but close enough for me.

The bogies cost enough with out buying wheels aswell

Hoping that they will take some decent abuse...
