Yes the rack and pinion are cut from a single piece of 10mm, there's pics and video of it bent cut as well.

The only thing we dont supply is the spring as you can select the strength by putting stronger die springs in for your use. With the standard spring in it the units will carry 18kg each, we can also make them larger or smaller depending on your requirements. The trailing arms and axels come as blanks but keyed so you can spin them to your requirements.

Price seems a bit much, but you're not mass producing these yet. I think a decent set of these and a similar "drop in" chain tensioning assembly for drive trains would be good things to get on the market.

Approx cost is around NZD$45 each plus shipping.

Also what is the overall width of an assembled unit (30mm?).

I have used small 30mm diameter springs only because I had limited space inside my hull once the batteries had gone in. If interested i do flatpack the main hull and turret bits fir my Abrams, only thing is you would then need to weld it all together. Both the suspension and body can be cut from what ever material U wish, my hull is 4mm mild steel and suspension is Aluminium. Let me know if U have any other questions.

I'm doing an Abrams too--1/6, size isn't too big a deal, are you offering different sizes? -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
