Hey smallhaul, do you need Unit cable backhoe measurement's? I have access to one like
what's in post#18. Later, Neil#2 aka doodlebug.

Neil, I met a guy at the cabin Fever show that collects Units that is only about 45 minutes from my house. So, hopefully I'll get over there very soon because I would like to start on the boom & stick right away. So many people were bending my ear at the show I don't remember if he said one of his units were hoes or not. I'll let you know. Thank you very much!

I have went to all of my contacts in the r/c tanking world and cannot find any place that has just the drive sprockets for the T-34 metal tank tracks. The sprockets do not have teeth on them like a normal tank. The tracks 'ears' actually go into the sprocket and are driven that way. I know you want metal tracks for your build but you can get a complete T-34 for just over $130 at a few places.

Lynn, thank you VERY much for trying. I have some time before I need the tracks so, I'll just keep looking for now. I might just go with the Panzer metal track upgrade because the drive wheels sit inside a little and the tracks would have great traction for climbing up hills.

Neil,

I will take you up on that offer if it still stands? The guy that was supposed to give me photos and measurements isn't answering emails, could be wrong email.

Rough measurements would be nice so that I get the boom to stick ratio close to scale. What I really need though are some pics of the the two towers attached to the Cab area and how the cable & drum setup works...? No hurry though because it will probably take me a couple of weeks just to get the drive built and working properly.

Thanks, Scott
