I have just bought a Heng Long Bulldog tank 1/16th and was wondering if anyone had made treads or parts for this scale of tank? If so could you give me some tips on the process? I was thinking of some ally t-bar as a base block.

I will do Vid for you Mark :)
Sounds an ideal candidate for lost wax casting IMHO.
i looked at making tracks for the king tiger in 1/16th, the link pin hole was the hard bit. Are you going further, making panels and running gear.
I had thought of low heat metal casting puter etc but without rubber cleats they would were out fast..Quote:

Hmmm, there are times when one of these could come in useful.... What calibre, range, and accuracy does the main gun have?
I reckon you could hit a Cats third eye at about 50 ft quite accuratley , they quote 75ft and i shot my self in the leg from about 20 ft and it bloody stung, calibre .. BB size I reckon about a .177 without the wieght , of course thats not to say a bit of DIY on the gun and steel BB's would'nt make it sting even more lol, I'm working fixing a 1g nano cam on the barrel for bore sighting with my FPV set up, .Though of course you could use a laser sight, but fall off is rapid after about 50 feetQuote:
