Great job, I am looking to buy a KT after I get done with Christmas.

I noticed you bought a Metal gun barrel does the KT come with plastic barrel or just a cheaper grade of metal.

Thanks

Dave

thanks !

The Tiger II comes with a metal barrel, but the Tamiya size is not scale - so I bought this special Tiger II barrel.

Greetings

I see for the suspension you went with the Modified Torsion Bars. I went with the WECOHE suspension kit. To be honest I wish I would have went the route you have taken. The WECOHE kit is nice but takes plenty of time to install and adjust and is expensive. It actually took me a whole day to adjust it the first time and in the end I was not happy as once I added the gear boxes the chassis had a nose down attitude. I had to go back and readjust which took another 6 hours or so. I must admitt that once the WECOHE suspension is set up it works nice. My chassis looks good running over some obstacles and ther suspension handles everything just great. I just hope I never have to adjust it again. If so a set of the modified torsion bars may end up in my KT as well.

Status: offline 		Hallo Wayne,

I know the wecohe version just from the look ... but what I saw was not scale - it was too soft, but maybe this were wrong adjusted versions . My aim was to avoid the Tamiya fault - too short torsion bars - so the modified version is a very nice solution

In front you see the two Tamiya and all the rest are modified torsion bars (they do fill all the place out):


Here we have parts of the "Modified Axels" and the "improved track adjuster system":


The improved track adjuster system without special screws ( I will put them later on):

Status: offline 		Very nice Stern. I have a King Tiger on order and was wondering if the upgraded wheel bushings are worth it. I am considering buying them. I also want to buy the driveshaft support. Is the POM better than the brass one?
