Well done! Thinking this is the early 1/35tamiya kit? Are you using the tamiya motor kits still? Ive tried to find these online in Australia but cant find a distrubutor. Where is the best place to pick them up from? Cheers>
No, this is actually a toy model kit of $7US(a lot of extra detailing needed). A very small surplus gear box was used (or you can build it yourself) Front steerings from a small toy car. Tamiya standard twin motor kit is not suitable until they start to sell their NEWEST mini motor kit.
I live in Canada & have no idea the best way to shop from Australia and I thought it's easier for your shoppings because you're closer to Japan. This is a difficult project, better start with the simpler ones if you are new to RC.
Actually, a rigid track is better because the slots won't got stretched out of alighment causing mis-teething. And yet, you might have a different kit.

The steering looks like a small car steering and the twin motors are from which toy????????

@tankman35 I did it long time ago. I think the front steering came from a tiny radio control car, twin motors from surplus gear boxes.

You have to buy a model kit & make it yourself. I bought this cheap kit from a bargain store.

In my memory, rubber track in this kit is quite rigid, how can you get it run like that?

Obviously it is because I am smart :)
