Yaaay it worked. It happened to get 2 (two) kettenkrads , the second one DID mainly for the fact that it has Metal rollers and tracks. Compared to each another the Dragon i s a little more detailed i assume if someone looks for metal tracks than the Dragon built model , which i don't have is a better deal. The first one is a static kit the second one is a ready built static model. Here are some pictures:

It's working so i will post the pictures where i got so far. I started to build the Dragon variant, but only with duck tape and rubber band considering the RC build later on:
This is the plan:
Later it changed to use the HL gears and RX 18 because it suits these models.
Some build pictures:
After i finished i was able to fit in a plastic "gearbox" from HL and transformed the gear wheels to match the axels and to be rigid on them with some epoxy. It happened to have one EL-MOD laying around with sound module[img]images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif[/img] so i tried first. The final will be with RX-18 so the KT sound might not be forever[img]images/smiley/msn/49_49.gif[/img].
The fitting of the gears needs the removal of one motor and reinstall after which needs two holes on the wall for the screwdriver to get in.. and also a little bending of the sheet metal but later it fits perfectly also with the "driver" in place
Of course i always use LIPO's
And ta da: Here is the result

(For this trial i used a futaba 9 channel RX-tx and the EL-MOD module )
Next episode will be about the making of the suspension system with torsion plates and aluminum sheet..

I would need help on controlling nicely the steering wheels though the ketten stares from the motors (as in real life) the whell can stare only 5 degrees. if you want more some clutch is controlled . I plan to use the RX18-s turret control..
