At that size one option would be timing belts. They have the cloth reinforcement like treadmill belts but are thinner. The negative is timing belts can get expensive but if you are lucky you could find one to the correct length so you would not have to make a join which might make the price acceptable. the other thing is they would be harder to wrap around wheels at that size. i was thinking, if he didn't need all of the road wheels and could get them in line with one another, i would consider putting blocks on the inside of the track with a groove notched into them to accept the road wheels, this way he wouldn't have to worry about guides at that scale. and yes, i would think of doing away with the suspension as well. the only downfall with my idea is if it runs out in the dirt, the grooves may fill in and the wheels could ride out Chris, _Odyssey Slipways_ (http://hometown.aol.com/odysseyslipways/index.html) -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
