Hi guys,

just a quick not for anyone who is considering bearings for their wheels and
or suspension.

this guy on ebay


http://cgi6.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=irvine
man&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50

has stacks of em. Im gonna try the inline skate bearings 608zz for road
wheels and suspention systems.

Ultra cheap at US$10 for a hundred. which is cheaper than they wholesale em
at the factory at 40 cents each with a minimum order of 10,000!!!!!!

A quick comment on tracks: why not make rubber pads(molded to chosen tank
version) that attach to the outside of the belt or chain system? Will look
close to the real thing without the weight/cost.

Besides every track system looks pretty dam good fron this side of the world
and you are trying to splatter each other with paint not win model comps.

Regards
