I'm using pretty much what Chris did , just going a little bit further with the track frame pivot point . I'm doing away with the single point pivot to the inside of the track frame which would wear over time causing the track frame to come out of alignment thus , alowing the track to come off . the 1's I'm building is similar to the real 1's not as detailed but will function the same .

thanks for lookin

Re: STX conversion

Looks great! The transmission seems to be very solid...

Re: STX conversion

Looks great!
Ten Cells (12V).... Did I see it right?
What capacity do they have?

Re: STX conversion

They are the cell pack from a dewalt 12v drill unit - They didn't work out so well though..... probably half shot to begin with (garage sale drill)

Steve - what packs od you run now??
