Hello Allan,

Normaly the jack of the KT lies flat on the brackets,
and not on his side.
Nice zimmerith, also a great set up for the electronic modules.
best regards Yves

Some picture from a short test drive - last sunday.

Just one question, sitting belts to tight and do I need to put more tracks on both chains. ?

I'm thinking to put two more tracks of the chain comes to rest on the third road wheels, it does sound correct, yes ?

Hi Allan
I would run the tank for a couple of hours as the tracks( Belts)
will stretch quite a bit.

Derek
we must stop making stupid predictions
