T1 overhaul

[Mick Coleman]

Sorry mate.

Opened up the gear boxes to this today.
Just after opening


You can see that this gear is not straight. Hull flex for sure.

Mick

You have a very old and completely un-updated kit. Will contact you by e-mail shortly with options.

Mark

Mark mate I know she's an old girl and that just adds to her character, I'll tell you this though, I'll not be giving up on her and will make a runner of her yet.

Hello Mick

Looks like this needs updateing. Take Mark's advice. The motor mounts need remounting to the sides. These mods must be done. Otherwise it will not run properly and burn the motors out and rip the mounting points out.

Lee

[Mick Coleman]

That's the plan mate.

Hello Mick

It looks like the tank that you are doing will be a excellent one when it's finished. There are a lot of us old boys that was doing these when they came out many moons ago. Even with mine there was a lot to do just to fit correctly anyway never mind the motion pack. Gill and Mark at Armortek took all of the remarks on board and made it in to the company we all know and love today. The motion pack was a work in progress at that time and developed the mounting possition that is used today.
All of the advice is free and a wealth of knowledge and even I still learn after building 25 plus tanks. There is no malice made and if you feel let down that wasn't the intention. Happy Tanking

Happy with that mate it just seems people get the cold shoulder when they detail a fault in their tanks, not quite sure why that is. Anyway we might be moving her over to a mates place for some hull bracing and motor remounting. We'll get her going yet!
