im thinking about it,
what kind of acsis for the gearbox do you use, a long one from the m41/m26 or the short one of the tiger.
the short one doesnt work at me :-/

hi Christian
they were standard HL gear boxes and PZIII sprockets/idlers and track, although I had to add extra length to eack track as they were even longer than the standandard PZIV track.

sorry, cant see what you mean.
your pic looks the same like my gearbox, but i cant fit the track with the driving weel because the achsis is to short.
yours looks short too, how do you made this ?????

hi Christian

the pzIII sprockets are attached straight on the axle stub you see and have been fine. I have metal track on as well and it's not been a problem. However if you think it's too short try the Pershing gearboxes which have the longer axle. I just used the gearboxes I had at the time so let me know how you get on if you use the longer axle.

cheers

mybe i have an idee why it works at you and me not.
how thick is your polyplate? my is 3mm.

its an mysterium LoL.
mybe the axle i have is shorte than yours. because it is a real old gear box of the very first pantigers.
the pershing gearbos is tne next option i will use.

lovely work christian
have you thought of the asiatam low profile gearboxes these can have the axles removed and a 5mm shaft fabricated to your needs?

[chris3]

moin

yes it is a option, but first i will try the m41 gearbox to see if it works

Excellent as always Christian,will be following this one.The sprockets are perfect,perhaps that is another part to add to your growing inventory of CNC parts. Blake
