SNOWTANK

I just got back from several hours of Tank running. It was a beautiful spring day with sunshine and light wind. 3 of the German Tanks ran pretty good except for the PZ3's right track stopped cold. I just opened it up and found a motor wire negative lead had come off the RX14 board. No problamo to fix. I got the solder iron heating up now. The Tiger1 Ran good but it would lock up on the right track till I back it up a little and proceeded forward. I coudn't find any small stones or debris in the track. Maybe something foreign is in the gears on the right side. Other than that it ran pretty good. The smoker was on and it pumped out smoke nicely. The running time was shorter than the Stug III but with the metal tracks and upgraded suspension it's a heavier Tank and I was running the Turret simultaneously as the Tank was climbing mounds of old deep grass so it was not unexpected. It eventualy was unable to make any turns eventually. The StugIII ran the longest with no issues for about 2hrs. I was using a Dreadnought 3000. I am still impressed with this Tank. I will have to take a picture of the mound of Grass that it plowed through. A couple of people were watching it in amazment as it climbed and worked it's way through the large dry weeds. Overall I had a great time as I explained to passerbys that the Tank did not cost me a thousand dollars. I was debating whether to take my Yamato out today but I'm GLAD I chose to run the Tanks instead.

Life is good! I just don't get any better... sorry to hear you had a couple issues. Hope it isn't anything major, but like they say, it's all part of the "experience"
