Default Working on a Panda 38t

Hello,

currently I have, among other things also a Panda 38t get sent.

My first part is the installation of a mechanism by which the tracks can be adjusted separately and from the outside.

After I measured everything, I had an idea that might fit.......and will show you this.....


































with regards, Guido

Good design.

Jeff, that's the scale 35 set, laser cut stainless sheet gears.

Guido, 'tracks' would be more appropriate than 'chains' in English. Excellent work.

Oh thanks Jeff... I didn't recognize them from that angle.

I assumed they were just another one of his 'wizardry' parts.


Still, pretty cool idler system.

Hi Guido,
Looking good - love the concept. Can I just ask you about the tracks? - I abandoned mine as the ones that come with the kit are very weak and did not survive my assembly. Are their good alternatives on the market? Yours certainly look good.

cheers

Hello,

check the Asiatam Hetzer-track,they are a little away from the 38t but a good and working alternative track.
