Default RE: Another T-55 build/review

And this is the drive assembled. Some wrestling to get the grub set screw to feed properly throught the collar and shaft to set on the gearbox output shaft is required. a simple cotter pin would have been easier.

Fortunately the shafts are keyed with flats to prevent sliding off.

Keep in mind there is no threadlock or ceramic grease provided in the kit - get some before you build this one. And the instructions do not tell you where to apply grease or threadlock, but our experience with similar kits (especially the Tamiya Pershing) will guide us.
