Tracked FG Monster. About 900mm long!

Hello!

As a starter, I got to apologiize for my bad english skills. In Finland, we don't speak english that much.

I've been building RC planes for about 20years, but I just can't fly them. I've been racign with boats for 15 years, and started with cars for 6 years ago.

I disliked the ability to run in snow, of the stock FG. So, I decided to build tracks.

The tracks are built of two 10B rollerchains, linked via 80mm long 20x20x1.5 alu U profiles.
