Well, I received my stuart (used, modified) and discovered that the front left bogie screw posts (both upper and lower) were broken off as well as the upper one on the rear bogie. The Rear bogie was also broken at the top arm adjacent to the top pivot. I repaired everything and reinforced what I could and used 3500 lb epoxie for plastic. I sure hope it holds.

What I would like to know from any stuart owners is what kinds of terrain this tank will handle. Will it handle grass? This seems to be the most difficult for my HL Tigers. What should I NOT run it on. I've asked this on the Yahoo group but I seem to be ignored there, or maybe everyone was out engaging it Stuart battles this weekend.

I will be adding the Number 6 hose clamps this week to reinforce the drive sprockets as has been advised by just about everyone.

Also, has anyone ever converted this to a belt or chain drive?
