RE: Side Project in progress
From what I kinow German sprockets were in the front as it gives a tank a greater climbing factor for two reasons
easier to pull something especially when it is the loosest portion of the track. Sprockets at the back not only strain the track pulling all that weight but it stretches the track while the weight is on it, in effect doubling the strain on links.
Having the extra weight at the front for the gearing also helps the tank climb over obstacles.
like I said from what I know which sometimes fits in a teaspoon.

hmmmm trying to figure out what its going to be
can you tell me why most German Tanks had drive sprockets in the front where the Russian and American except the Sherman style tanks had the drive sprockets in the rear

Rex, coming from you, that is a huge compliment! Thank you my frined. I am still messing with the bug some. I wanted to add some grime and stuff to the engine compartment. The T-55 is done for the most part. I will try to get a quick video of it now that I found the radio to be bad. I had to install one of my cheapy radios to test it out. It works and I had some fun with the flashunit and emmiter ont his one. Works really nice.
