Default RE: Another Tamiya Leopard

Plastic? Maybe I should make the 1/16th scale one out of paper.

I won't ever run this thing in tall grass again. At least not for a while. It took quite a while to get the grass stains, as well as embedded grass off the road wheel rubber. The idler wheels definitely need some kind of protection. I'm afraid the plastic will be mauled by hard material getting crushed between them and the track.

To make getting into the hull a little easier, I trimmed down the snap tabs on all the light board harness clips. They still snap into place, but it doesn't take an act of congress to get them out. I ended up pulling a wire out of the front light board harness trying to pull it out during cleaning. Luckily, the wire only needed reinserted and crimped into the harnes clip.
