    Gen 2 wire problem

    Gen 2 wire problem

    I was looking at them but when I checked the brown and red wire with the ohm meter and the gen-1 worked and gen-2 didn't that makes me think that there might be a short in the wiring. The heater which links up with gen-2 right?

    Building a Tank??

    The suspension system is a leaf spring system is from a train's and as for the tracks I would forge them maybe buy rubber ones. SilverCat if you want to build a tank you must fabricate a lot of stuff for a tank that's the whole point not unless you wish to buy a tank. Well it wouldn't be the...
