Derek, I watched the video of your Sturmtiger. Great video...looks like the drive system, suspension and tracks work well.
I'am going build my first suspension system using the 2060 attachment chain. I was wondering if you had any tips or suggestions you could share. Are you happy with the Victor 883 controllers. What are your thoughts on buying them from the Robot Marketplace or direct from IFI (the Victors are on sale at the Robot Marketplace....I've haven't bought from either supplier and I was wondering which is the best to deal with).

I use Joe's motors and Will's attachment chain on my Sturmtiger and they work great. TNC scooter also has them in stock at times: http://tncscooters.com/product.php?sku=106115 And I am using these on my M113A3 project, but alas they are sold out: http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/DCM-2445/24VDC-450W-MOTOR-W/-PLANETARY-GEAR/1.html or from TNC: http://tncscooters.com/product.php?sku=106118 Derek T065 On Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 6:56 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: It's 2060 attachment chain. http://www.rctankcombat.com/tanks/T017/Page2.html https://www.surpluscenter.com/sort.asp?UID=2009092318372757&catname=&byKeyword=yes&search=50%20sprocket The motor most install recently is the 250-350 watt geared scooter motors. http://www.monsterscooterparts.com/24v-350w-motor-dirt-quad.html Will -----Original Message----- From: gdavis <[email protected]> To: R/C Tank Combat <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, Sep 23, 2009 5:10 pm Subject: [TANKS] Re: Tank treads This is great. What size is it? I also found 3 strand #50 chain and was thinking of riviting the treads to the two outside links and use the middle links for the drive sproket. Have you seen anyone do it that way? One last question. I saw on a website called anvilus that there were 4 M01 motors for sale. I emailed him but have not received a response. Do you know anything about this website?
