That's really helpful, Chrys- I wondered what the problem with front sprockets was- mine goes at the back, then. 

I've just received my 200 hinges, but due to a small error in the ordering department (ie me) they are brass-plated rather than zinc-plated. This will give my tank an interesting Gothic Revival feel (or else I'll just paint the tracks). 

Not much time over the weekend but I did manage to reduce 4 roadwheels to the correct width to fit the track.

I am facing a small problem when I try to accelerate in reverse., which is the same like having the drive sprocket on the front. You'd have a bigger problem if you tried to climb an obstacle with a front drive sprocket and no compensating idlers. Think KTS and loose tracks = think T-34 drive system and be simple. Lots of tolerance between crudely fit parts. This is not a chain roller system track.
