Hooben T 55 build

[sevoblast]

Vocation has kept me quite busy lately, but I found the time to work some more on the T 55. Also, in another day or two I will have the complete electronics system in Sevastopol, and I will test it for sound and operation. Once approved, I will post photos of the system.

I have been working on the suspension system with two small modifications. One is simply replacing the supplied suspension arm wire clips with 'E' clips. I did not like the way the wire clips looked as far as operation, so I decided to use the 'E' clips. Also, on each end suspension on each side there is a bell crank connected to the shock absorber in the hull side. The bell crank mounting shaft, which moves with the suspension arm, goes through the plastic shock absorber mount. I cut a piece of brаss tube, drilled out the crank shaft hole in the hull, and installed the tube. Now the hull will not be worn by the crank shaft.
