If I recall correctly, a while back he petitioned anyone building a tank to help him out with testing. He never got much of a response. I told him I would be happy to help but my timeline is pretty long and I'm still in the planning stage. I have seen a successful metal hulled, suspended, and roller chain tracked tank on YouTube. I believe it was a 1/10 scale Leclerc. The fella drove it with him standing on top of it. And also had a video (from a side mounted camera) showing the suspension articulation and track movement while driving it around. Seemed pretty solid. I would say that if he is committed to roller chain then he can make it work reliably. I also believe that rc tank combat is not the only market he is aiming at. Mike Butts
