Now it is time for the next small update.
I had primed the sprockets and made some modifications on the idler wheels.

[Christoffer Ahlfors]

Beautiful - wow!

Did you actually machine them, or was this a matter of lots of elbow grease?

[florian rudolf]

[Martin Hofmann]

Hi Florian,
Hi Björn,
thank you very much for your nice words. And welcome Björn to the world of tanks.
Sorry for late answering but i am very busy at the moment.
Here are some new photos of the hub caps with some modifications: thicker cap with new radius, safety plates for the screws and the new flat grease nipple. That is a cap screw M1,6 with nut, glued a ball in it with dia of 1,5mm and glued a washer in front to simulate the nipple so you can see the ball
