FullArmor Posted December 2 Author Share Posted December 2 Drive sprockets primed. Some of 3D printing lines are visible. These would be very difficult to remove. Most of them will be covered by tracks. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 They re oil pans. For catching dripping oil. Usually used when you do an oil change on a car at home. Typically moulded in black plastic. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullArmor Posted December 11 Author Share Posted December 11 This kit has been criticised of missing CIP panels. But this kit has one?! Instructions does not call this part at all. So they have rectified this matter...kinda. So now i must fabricate 2 more of these🧐 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullArmor Posted December 11 Author Share Posted December 11 This chassic is massive 😵. Nice that they have plugged holes of battery compartment and switches allready(there is fine line where those must have been situated). 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullArmor Posted December 11 Author Share Posted December 11 Test fitting suspension arms. 3D printed sprocket was perfect fit also☺️. I hope that one extra link is enough per side because this sprocket is bigger than normal. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 These wheels look extremely good, FA. Do you plan to weather/tear the rubber tyres? That hull tub looks gigantic. It will take half a bottle of cement to glue it shut . Cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tested that my track length might be spot on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 Some great progress there. The hull is huge, that's for sure. Unless l that's a 1/2 side cement bottle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullArmor Posted Saturday at 12:18 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 12:18 PM Lowerhull painted and some init weathering done. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullArmor Posted Saturday at 05:54 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 05:54 PM This kit does not contain any suspension arm attaching srews. You supposed to just glue them in place and hope for the best. Luckily it is very easy to make some spacers and use random srews from tool box. Now i have possibily to fine tune stance if necessary. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted Sunday at 04:36 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:36 PM The lower hull looks great. At least by using screws it should make it a bit easier to level the suspension. Annoying they don't give them to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
