AtStWalker 0 Posted April 26, 2005 Hello all i've under costruction a tut about the making of a Tank (or a Panzer if you're a German guy) BUT i've a stupid problem... i don't know what's the english name of this little wheel (see the pic 1). The italian name is "Ruota tendi cingolo", in Oxygen is: "Kol" + a number. Do you can help me ? tnx a lot Pic 1 At Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tannethal 0 Posted April 26, 2005 Hi AtStWalker, from one German to another, may i hold out my hand? As far as my english language skills reach i'd call this little wheels above the groundwheels: "return rollers". At least that's what they are called on various occasions by native anglo-americans. In Deutsch sinds die Stützrollen. ;) Aber frag mich nicht wie man im Englischen auf return rollers kam. BTW: This drive system looks suspiciously russian from the looks of it. Best Guess would be a KV 1 2 or 85 variant or is it from one of the IS heavy tanks? S! Und weiter viel Erfolg mit deinen AddOns! S! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeLiltMon 0 Posted April 26, 2005 Yeah, return rollers is what they are, with the others being road wheels. Stupid thing is, I saw this post earlier and my mind went completely blank as to what they were called It was before my first cup of tea of the day though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imshi-Yallah 0 Posted April 26, 2005 Isnt an idler the term for the one at the opposite end of the track section to the drive socket, as I recall from AFV rec the only term used for the part in question is return roller. (But then we dont have any tanks ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
