Hi Steve:
Yes, the torsion bars were made exactly like the pic you posted (I remember it comes from a plastic kit of a Panther converted to RC by a Japanese modeller).
The other end of the rods have a 90 degrees angle and fixed to the hull with a hard wood piece and lots of CA.
As for the idle wheels (sorry no pics) I built the swing arms (they come molded to the hull so I have to flush sand them and make workable ones), the axes protrude to the interior and I fixed them with a spring, in order to give tension to the tracks. Anyway, once I build the tracks (ATL-25 Friulmodel metal tracks) I will find the correct springs by trial and error.
I hope this answers your question.
Regards
Robert |
