Update time.

I spent the last couple nights grinding away at the transmission cover so the 4:1 gears would fit. Once that was done, it still had loads of tension on the left sprocket. Upon further inspection, I found that the main shaft on the lower motor was rubbing on the left gearbox.



My fix was to use my Dremel to drill a small divot on that spot to allow the shaft to spin freely. The other scratches are from the motor leads. They had to be bent out to keep them from touching the right gearbox too. I also put some electrical tape on those spots just in case.

After that, the lower hull went together in a breeze! With easy turning gearboxes!



Don't mind the gun. The turret innards were scavenged to convert my cousin's non S&S HL Tiger to Taigen electronics.

Now, I'm just waiting on the rest of my turret parts to show up.
