That's a nice looking system, all aluminum always looks the goods :) I'd be a bit worried about the surface where the two pieces "slide", it will wear quickly wont it?

It has a 1 inch thick aluminum bar that all boggies will be built on. The drive sprocket, rear sprocket, and track tensioning system will also mount on this bar. It will be a complete track system that will bolt to the outside of the hull. http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z65/mm123521/HPIM0698.jpg http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z65/mm123521/HPIM0699.jpg The boggie has 1.3 inch travel and a compressed wheel pressure of 14 pounds. There are positive travel stops (up and down) built into the 1 inch bar. The lever bar is pivoted on a shoulder bolt, and a 3/8 inch shoulder bolt is the wheel axle. The lever bar is 3/4 X 5/8 X 5 inch aluminum. The springs are captive in pockets on both sides. Mark -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
