I am having trouble finding good plastic ITL tracks suitable for radio control model use. So I am using poly tracks on the next project which is a Tamiya M10 Tank Destroyer.

The latest build of the M10 features:
1. Revised axle assembly improves strength and allows the use of narrow width 1/35 poly tracks with minimum tension.

2. Tie strap secures two part gearbox housing. Now it can come apart for repair if needed but cutting the strap.

3.  New mounting of the gearbox with one micro self tapping screw that allows a pivot axis for track tension and makes for easy removal of gearbox for service and or repair or swap into another vehicle.

4. Removable drive sprocket with 1/35 Tamiya compatibility allows standard Tamiya sprockets to be used with minor modification.

Nice work!
A good example of the MTM kit adaptability...
I hope you had fun mounting it and now fun running it?

Oh certainly. Impressive radio equipment for sure. It has occupied a good deal of my time since receiving the MTM system. Next is a M4A3 Sherman.

 

I tried something new in the Sherman. I went to "other vehicles" and switched motor 3 to 1 (M2=L M1=R) for Dual stick control. Results can be seen in the video here https://youtu.be/jC6ZPnPiZVE

Ok got it done. Gearbox is holding up well after 1 hour running the track. It is fun to drive and is a total success.

This Halftrack has been in my collection for over 25 years and is one of my favorites despite the wear and tear.

Greetings everyone in the Tank Forum. I have new gearboxes and will be continuing a new Char build soon.
