Very nice, although your tracks looked like they stuck to the rear drive sprocket a hit when reversing.

Very nice though!
Do you have fans installed on the smoke genys?

Yep I agree on the tracks has it got track ajusters on it the only other thing is the gun barrel has a bit of bounce in it when it was going over the bumps! Other than that a top tank!!! :thumbup:

With reference to the tracks, on this type of modern tank with rear sprocket drive, when you reverse the one track then even on the full size this happens to a degree. The tracks were new in this video and I have adjusted them since but you still get it to a degree. I used to have a 1/16 Tamiya Leopard and this was exactly the same...

Fair enough, just thought I'd point it out.
Awesome looking tank though, how much did that set you back?
