Status: offline 		my new metal gears arrived for the T34 so decided to dust her off and install them.
no probs with the metal gears although after seeing YHRs build and the HUSSARS build may go with the Heng Long gearboxes but time will tell
whilst doing the boxes and preparing the chassis for strenghening noticed alot of play in the front two road wheels and decided to fix it

Status: offline 		some more work done today got the heng long turret motor in
cut the hard foam and plastic floor strengthener cut and installed (temporary)
installed a dry run on the electronics ready to cut the placement holes in the foam
new attempt at an improved smoker with cpu fan instead of the noisey power draining plunger (will see how this goes as i'm not sure on the smoker yet)

Status: offline 		Nice going fv432, foams a cool idea. I have some metal gears coming for mine and have the HL electronics in and running metal tracks on,(I did all this about maybe six months ago) I kept the original recoil and flash in and use the HL smoker. I have a set of HL gear boxs sitting around, but I'm going to wait until I need too before I switch to them. Keep up the great work.

Status: offline 		A quick tip on the turret motor dont remove as i did the post nearest the turret ring as it's the other two that need it and it'll save you some glue

Status: offline 		I haven't got as far on the mechanical mods with my WSN, but yeah on day #2 I'd installed HL S&S because the stock electronics were just lame (dual stick control ), and that huge controller..... who has 16AA's? LOL

Much better now, still not quite as robust as a stock Heng Long, but at least it drives like one (albeit a little slower) and I'm happy with it.
