Hehe, all my conveyor links are pre dark ages, thus the plates stick even
worse...

It's not that fast or powerful, but it's not that heavy either. It can turn on
carpet though, but a lot of 1 x 6 plates will fall off if I drive on carpet.

Someday I'll have the videos OnLine, but not for months. I'm moving to another
apartment so I'm rather busy at the moment, I also just "discovered" trains :)

I think it can be a little messy to the plates and the holes in the links? Sure
low-temp glue-gun glue don't stick very well but still? Would thin plastic make
any difference? That kind you wrap sandwiches in, it seems to stick a lot. I'll
have to try sometime.

The only thing that's holding me back is the amount of conveyor links, but I
might have found a way to finally order from Dacta here in Sweden *grin* I hope
to get inspiration to do a "real" tank, like the M1 someday.

Thanks for replying,
