Stern,

What is the advantage of using the metal transmission if you are using the driveshaft support bushings? Is it strictly for appearance?

Hallo Bernie,

it is for the appearance (sure - you can also make the weld seam by yourself - but it will be difficult to correct the wrong Tamiya screws) and the heaviness ...

Hallo Dave,

das ist wirklich schnell und super für den Markt, denn so entsteht mehr Konkurrenz und bessere Preise für uns Kunden ! Aber auf Axel ist eben verlass !
Was für Teile hast Du bestellt ... ?

That is really fast - but on Axel you can count ! This is good for the international prices if we get a market that includes Europe and North Amerika ! Like Kissinger and Genscher said ...
What parts have you ordered ... ?

Ordered the POM gearbox supports, couple of buckets, tow cables and some other small parts. I'm going to start modifying my exhaust in the next couple of days. I would post some pics, but I am at work right now and our "censors" won't let us upload any.

Hab die POM gearbox supports, ein paar eimer, abschleppseile und ein paar andere kleinigkeiten. Ich will meine auspuff demnaechste modifiziern, wie in rc-panzerketten-forum, jetzige Porsche KT baubericht.

@Martin, thanks alot for the pics, very helpful.
@Stern, I will probably mount the smoker either "in" or cut away a part of the speaker from the KT (right side, where its empty) Haven't quite decided yet. Still looking for a proportional smoker here, but will eventually be getting the one from Asiatam.
@Thestuff, its called "Zimmerit", used as an anti-magnetic paste in WWII (German tanks).

Hallo Dave.

cutting away a part of the speaker from the KT could be a problem - maybe you ahve to make a new box for the speaker ...
I am thinking about using a smoker from the modell railway with a fan like in the S21 thread and a box done by myself - so it should possible to make it fitting ...

Yea, planning on cutting the rear box, since half of it is empty anyway, filling the cut away part with plastic sheet and then placing the smoker in the cut away part. The speaker box would look like a laying down "L"

Hi GD D you should have enough room in the KT without cutting the speaker box take a look on the Tanks and trolls website he has a tutorial on how he did his http://www.tanksandtrolls.co.uk/smokinkings.htm

Thanks Ian, for the link. Good thing I waited to try out my new Dremel. I think I'll copy his complete system, as soon as he says OK.
