Re: Transmission Help [TANKS]

Bravo....Bravo.... It's this kind of help that makes me keep plugging away 
at getting a tank built...Years ago when 1/4 scale R/C cars started there 
was this kind of help...I enjoyed the camaraderie and the competitiveness of 
the racing...I am seeing that same spark here...THIS IS GUNNA BE FUN 
!!!!!!!!
