With all the tryes ive destroyed doing burn outs I haven't helped either 🙃
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Tracks are on-going.
I take back what I said about link and length being quicker and easier.
While that might be true on an OOB build in this case i've lowered the ride height and am having to go slowly to make sure the tracks fit to the wheels.
It's be easier if I had a set of individual link tracks as I would just have to build them and then drape them over the wheels.

Almost done one track.  I may have to modify the idler sprocket mount in order to get the required position for the idler with the lowered ride height.

Second track nearly complete.  After which I should be able to get to work on extending the lower hull up to meet the body.
And I really should get on with the Stolly.

Tracks completed.  Lower hull extension commenced.

Stolly now has complete suspension and steering on both sides.  This thing is fiddley but it goes together well once you fettle the parts (mould separation lines, sprue attachments, shock absorbers too fat to fit through holes in suspension arms...).  I'm interested to see if it'll have all six wheels on the ground without anything needing to be adjusted.

What scale is the Stolly and where are the pics?

Same as mine, those dampers are too big to fit through the wishbones for sure.. :(

I made 'em fit.  Fold a piece of wet'n'dry and then sand the gaps between the dampers.

Hmmmm, that sounds worth a try, thanks.  :thumbsup:

The real thing was a pretty tight fit as I recall too. And NAFF all room to get in there to fit them too!  :banghead:
