Buck, well done and its a great place to be when your tank moves. I remember when my first tank (To51) moved 3` under its own power, I was over joyed, it is an impressive milestone, however, if your looking for a designation, I think I remember Frank saying that tanks need to be operational (or finished) to go on the designated list, there is a reason for this, too many tanks reached no further than the "rolling chassis" stage, so it had to be abandoned. I think this makes a lot of sense, as it encourages builders to reach the final goal of getting their tank built and then best of all, entering it in a battle, when you do reach this stage you will find yourself in a position that is very rare, and you`ll earn my respect as well as all the people who will be firing paint at you without mercy. take that extra step and you`ll be glad you did. I have to question why you only have a single track pad on the belt, is that a staple I see holding the pad to the belt ? I predict this will fail at the joint where it is weakest. also a single wood screw acting as a track guard will carve your wheels to pieces over time. please take my advice and make a track pad "sandwich". and if you replace the screw with a bolt with nuts trapping the pads in place, you will have prolonged track life.
