Nicely done! What tracks & sprockets are you using? They seem familiar but don't recall from where.

The sprockets and tracks are from http://www.veroma-modellbau.eu/startseite.html
But the track width is a bit smaller as the original. That was done on a milling machine by my buddy...

When the model is finished I´ll see how strong ist is. On the one hand I can add more weight, on the oter hand it would be helpful to fix a 5x5 millimeter L-profile on the tracks to get more grip.

I use RB-motors with a ratio of 75:1. If they are not strong enough I´ll take the 100:1.

Some steps ahead...
The rear pasrt of the body is fixed by just one screw behind the seat. The front of the hood is fixed by the two bolts. The gap of the bolts is adjusted to the thickness of the front part of the hood, so they are hidden behind the frontgrill... The paintshop is coming closer... ![]()
