[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.

Looks like a fun project and good practice before you build a big one! Steve Tyng On Jun 7, 9:56 pm, Timothy Hayes timhaye...@yahoo.com wrote: Hello Y'all Tim here with an update! Check out the attached pictures to see how its going. As you probably noticed, it won't win any beauty competitions yet, but maybe the upper hull will make it look better. I love the fact that those tiny motors can take a 9 volt EACH and that the gear boxes for the servos that I ripped up work so well. The suspension is a trial and error idea and maybe it will work. It's sort of like Christie and torsion bar. The gun may work and it may not. IDK. Enjoy! Tim H P.S. The Panzer IV Ausf D is the model I made measurements off of.
