John, I am aware of the problems with the KV and they will be addressed as the build progresses. I have sold Dary's parts for years now and Daryl and I are quite good friends.

I am also thinking of a cross brace system for the hull itself front and rear, and possibly a different motive system, the Spiegel system if it will fit. If the Spiegel system does not fit because of physical room, I'm going to do some razzle dazzle with the stock TU's.

If you think of any other problems, please let me know. I'll be running this thing with metal tracks in the semi concrete porridge we call mud in this AO. If he survives that, he'll go anywhere.

And nice build on the KV, by the by!
