The front idler wheels uses the same bearings as the road wheels of which I have plenty.

Yes, saw it over on RCU. Thanks.

Rubicon99 Suspension looks very robust, have you sorted out on the wheel bearings front?

You know that I will have the same tank sent to me by March or April. If there are any issues you think I might come across or might have difficulty with, please take a few pictures and post them up for all of us (me especially ).

Wow! you have already passed step 11? You are so fast .

I will have a running lower hull sometime tomorrow afternoon. It should be finished and painted by this weekend maybe sooner.

So reading sidewise, the transmitter specifies 4 channels, but I count 12 buttons on the front. Will they negate the stick ninja routines?

They should. I set my Tamiyas up like HL radios. I am most likely not going to use the supplied radio and go straight to my DX8.

This thread will be a summarized build, but a full field test review of the new Tamiya 1/16 Centurion.

I am not 100% set on a theme yet but leaning towards a late 1960s IDF Centurion or Vietnam era Australian Centurion.

If you have questions please feel free to ask.
