Been awhile since I checked in on this project. Still plodding along with it. I had hoped to make great progress last week during my quarterly visit to Wichita for work but was hopelessly distracted by other interesting things found at the Hobbytown there.

I did manage to assemble and touch up the idler and drive sprockets though. Word of warning on the drive sprockets, especially if you use laser cut parts, the lightening holes and the teeth are not symmetrical with each other. there is one way to match everything up, so you can't just slap it all together.

Also, I am not sure how robust these two assemblies will be during final assembly. They do not have very solid connecting points to the hull. I shall be breaking out the superglue to affix these later on. I will not be doing that, however, until the tracks are underway and I can ensure proper clearance with the fenders, especially for the drive sprocket.
