Today, we moved the Panther TTMS system into the ABS Tiger, which had a second generation suspension system. It took a few hours but it was straight forward. Then I was wondering if I will lose tracks like we did on the Panther, what about the plastic sprockets? or the 1/2 hardened steel axle for the idler?
Well, we took a video of our first run... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz2j6I14wuo&feature=youtu.be cheers from Utah, Loic On Thursday, June 20, 2013 10:20:55 AM UTC-6, [email protected] wrote: > > I'm not sure why no vendors produce a 1/6th Abrams.
