[TANKS] Re: Starting out.
James, The Jap 95 tank used a balanced lever bogie hung off a swing arm. Marc did something similar with his Leopard. The video clearly shows the 95 suspension in action. Should be simple to build.

First however, I have never built anything like this before (they will be made of metal) so I have decided to build some test chassis out of cold rolled steel. I am looking for a good suspension set up at the moment, something simple but efficient. Later will come the Bell Crank suspension... Thanks all of you.

Mike, i am interested in how you attached your drive sprockets to the actual motors. Thx. Stewart -- -- You are currently subscribed to the R/C Tank Combat group.

Re: [TANKS] Re: AMX13
I found a small hub that fit the output shaft of the gearbox. Onto those,I welded a flat thick washer that was tapped for three bolts. The sprocket got three matching holes and is bolted directly to the modified hub washer. At first I was concerned about abnormal wear in the gearbox by the sideways pull of the tensioned tracks, but that has not been a problem so far.

Re: [TANKS] Re: AMX13
For smooth shafts with no keyways I use Fenner Trantorque keyless bushings... They are quite expensive unless you find them on Ebay like I did. The come in metric and standard sizes. They clamp down on the smooth shaft while applying torque outward on the inner bore of the sprocket. They clamp on the shaft and push out on the sprocket at the same time. Using them on my drive shafts to attach my sprockets that drive my tracks. Don't slip even with steel tracks that weigh 17lbs. each.
