Thanks Mathew.
The hinge tracks are easy to assemble, however you have real, steel tracks
with completely closed pads. One disadvantage is that they are heavy, so
they'll add more stress to your motors. Not really. They can be loose and
sagging so they roll smoothly. An advantage is they don't flap just
because they're heavy. The amount you use depends a lot on the length of your
tracks and dimensions of the hinges. I'd say, find teh smallest and therefore
the lightest possible hinges that you can (so they fit to scale) in order to
reduce weight. You'll find tons of them in various types and sizes in the
market. My HaGo's tracks are wider than a 1:6 scale track.
See them running in:
OK, these are flapping because of a slightly larger drive
wheel.
Hey Clark! send pics of your FT 17!

hi i like the tracks you have
used
how wide are the hinges and how many hinges per
track as that seems an easier way to build a track than having to use a belt
with wooden blocks
