It looks like it handles/turns well and doesn't bounce. Just a few refinements and your off and running. Well done!

If there is enough interest, I may be able to offer drawing kits so you could build your own. :blacksmith:

Impressive. Sometime, I'd like to see a closeup video of the tracks moving over their mating components.

It might be interesting to take a slow motion video of where the noise is coming from. My iPhone 6 has that feature. I used it to troubleshoot my neighbor's clock mechanism that moved too fast to see in real time. Quick search found these slo-mo examples:

I've operated various tracked machine over the past 20+ years and during this I did have to do minor servicing to them. They are not easy to build or keep running for that matter.. :eek: I will give Gary much credit for all his hard wok at this.
