Good morning,
Working through the suspension on the Challenger and installing stiffer springs on the front and rear road wheels, I am trying to work out how to remove the gear box. There appears to be screws coming from the bottom, but not showing on the lower hull.

Open plastic covers, there should be one or two more screws holding gearbox.

The screws that look like they are coming from the bottom of the gearboxes are only holding the gearbox pieces together and not holding the gearboxes to the tank. Only the top accessible screws are holding the gearboxes in (usually 3 or 4 of them per gearbox).

:) Good morning,
I join Kaczor, and Tank me, have you removed the plastic lids? as Tank says me? there are generally screws inside, and as on the attached photo, in green for assembly, in red for fixing, do not forget to remove the tracks, and the drive sprockets :thumbup:

Thank you all for your help. I didn’t realise the plastic covers needed removing. :{
