Thanks folks. Allways nice to get feedback. In that way I can adopt and adjust your good ideas.

Did you do anything for the track tention like an adjustable Gearbox mount or are your idler wheels adjustable?
The pipe you used for the Roadwheels is that plastic or metal pipe?
Did not use anything for the track tention. The pipe is plastic, just like the plumbers use here in Norway.

RE: roadwheel spacers and 'tires' - why not use a section of heat-shrink tubing instead of tape?
I will take a closer look into that. You're right about a better seam.

Nice upgrade, very similar to mine.
If you place the RX14 & receiver boards in the turret you will not need to waterproof the hull. An easy way to hold the batteries safely in position is to use packaging foam.
Good idea, but I felt the tank got a bit heavy due to the metal gear in the rear. Sure can see if moving the electronic to the turret, maks better space for the batteries. And yes, waterproofing it would be very cool. And I have been looking at your Leopard. Good to see what others have done.

You said it does not run that good, it looks like to me you need to bring the sprockets in almost 1/4 inch on each side so the center rollers line up with the center guides on the drive sprockets! Very cool project and it is looking good so far!
SURE WILL CHECK THIS. You might have that correct. I most certainly will look into this. Thanks!
