rather than using styrene to cover Mato plate on underside, why not use kwik seal over screws and perimeter or paintable silicone over the primed surface? Actually, you could have done that to both surfaces before you put the lower hull together.

Hi Petro! I chose to cover the bottom of the tank to make it look a bit more realistic...the Mato logo didn’t appear on the real ones. However I will check when I visit one of the survivors at the US Tank Museum at Fort Benning, Georgia...just to make sure! All the best!

[@HappyDude1]

My tank arrived 😁 Can you tell me wich one is positve and negative on the motor ?

[@FullEarthWorkshop]

Hi! I am not to that part of the build yet...Keep watching! Remember, you can flip motor direction in most transmitters...

The Tamiya figure is holding gloves! Looking a great build so far! Greetings from the UK.

[@FullEarthWorkshop]

Why is he holding gloves? He should be holding a Spandau machine gun! Thanks for watching Darren!

This Bronze Bush you use is not the best Solution this mato casing has a Diameter 11 mm and the Schaft 6 mm on that area you can machine it out to 12 mm and fix 2 nice bearing from Amazon Ball bearings are much more Perfect for that. Bearing Size 12 out 6 in

Great info…thanks! Please subscribe…we need you here! Doug

[@FatFreddieT]

does these fit taigen tanks as well

[@FullEarthWorkshop]

Yes, the tracks fit Heng Long, Taigen and Mato!

[@StanlleyLegion]

the Taigen smoke unit has a larger hole compared to HL

[@FullEarthWorkshop]

Must be one of the reasons the V2 has better output! Thanks for dropping by Stanlley!
