RE: My LAST steering rebuild [TANKS]

Here you go, Frank. 

I used Google Sketchup to create an assembly drawing and information. I
uploaded the model to their 3D Warehouse, so anybody can grab it down and
take a look. Search for the keywords "rc tank combat" or "steering linkage".
I liked Google Sketchup. It was free, easy to use, has good 3D drawing
features, and it provides a repository. I think it might be a good way for
us to archive and exchange drawings. Did I mention it was free ? It's free.

Doug, when you get a chance, can you send me a couple paragraphs and 
photos explaining how it works and is put together.  I'd like to add an 
article in the How-To section on the CSL so that future builders have a 
place to start.
