(...) Nice work Tobbe! For some reason it reminds me of the tank in the Tank Girl movie, a good feature if you ask me :-) I'm looking forward to seeing the mpegs. Where on earth did you get all the wide caterpillar tracks BTW? Getting that amount (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) Thanks! So do I :) (...) It's from before my dark ages, mainly the 8851 Excavator and the 8660 Arctic Rescue, I also got two with the 8843 Fork Lift truck. They usually look better then they work since they tend to slip a lot, but in this case (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

Like this: ##=##=##=##= Perhaps this will give (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

Tobbe, This is a nice looking model, especially with all the functions. As to more traction, you could use alternating regular chain links and tread links and mount a 1x4 plate on each tread link, studs out. I'm not sure how realistic this would (...)

(...) Thx. (...) I use a 1x3 plate when I want more traction. The problem is that the plates often get ripped of when driving... I prefer the low-friction solution. I am thinking that some glue from my glue gun on each tread link will do the trick. (...) (24 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
