Nice work Chris on the Panther grind work (making wheels and tracks). Hope you had a good summer. This website and forum sure have been quiet.

Fantastic Chris. By looks of the Idler your going for "Late" version! Super cool. Just watch video of Jimmy's track replacement (to Liams steel) as well. I need to get with it on building mine.
Best regards,
Bob

Looks Great! You are fast builder!
Bob

Very cool Martin! Will be following your progress! Nice little rig to start with!

Nice Work Chris! I didn't realize the track needed 4mm spacing wow! For milling Alum the fewer flutes is better and higher RPM. I generally use 2 flute, but 1 flute really clears the chips. Gummy materials need to clear chips!

Hello Martin,
What drivetrain /chassis will you use? Sounds like cool project.
Best regards,
Bob

Slowly adding more details.

Something new - at least on paper. I always wanted a WC-54 Ambulance. This one will fit on TRX-4 chassis, 1/10 scale. Maybe someday in 1/6?

Rocka,
Yes I've had to help drag a dead AT Penther G to a friends car and get it inside - with a jammed track. No fun, Took 4 people.

Being able to free move the model with motor decoupled is very good. Excellent work!

Makes since Chris, I remember several folks having "fit' problems with Vincent tracks. Looking Good!
Bob

Looking Good Chris. Is that Liam track or Vincent track? The fit looks ok, maybe a bit tight on the sprocket teeth. The guide horns were weak on real tank as well, so no worries. The steel links should be stronger than the aluminum in all aspects.

Keep going!
Bob

Interesting comparison Chris. I don't think the clearance will matter much over the road wheels. As long as fit is good at Idler wheel (not too loose, not too tight). As you know side to side alignment of sprocket with rest of wheels is critical. I think you will be good with either of those track a...

Happy New Year Minipansar, Work continues on the turret of Stu. Got roof machined and hatches installed. Now only 90% remaining. :D turret - Pew pew end.jpg turret - hatch closed.jpg Turret side.jpg Turret back on hull... Side w turret.jpg Side3 w turret.jpg 3D printed tank guy... tank guy2.jpg tank...

Looking good Chris! Keep at it. Panther wheels are major job whether using steel ones or Aluminum. Looks so good!
