This is very helpful. I will try to get the measurements of my future drive wheel so I can begin throwing numbers around. By the way I've been tossing ideas around for track designs. I've thought of combining the TTS with the so called ( paddle wheel ) design to create a realistic track system for the Sherman m4a3. The hard thing is the whole vertical valute suspension is hard to work with. Any ideas? Track guides go on the sides of the boogie wheels with vvs.
