Trying to bump this, since I'm looking for the same thing. If I shine a light into the space where you take out the turret, you can see 2 thick tabs that appear to be holding treads to the body.
I suppose you may be able to use a decent flat head screwdriver to do this, but I was afraid to break the tabs off as they don't have much give to them. Hopefully someone here has a better/safer way of doing this? |

There was a tutorial on this in the customs forum, but each time i try and find it... i can't. The search feature on this message board software sucks.

Agreed, I've tried the search function several times without much luck, just seem to get a bunch of pages of stikied posts that are not relevent to the search.
I did do a google search and came across this post right here at hisstank.com, looks like my idea about the screwdriver was right: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...s-prime-3.html Last edited by Fesifisky; 02-09-2009 at 01:29 PM.. |

I just took apart one for my custom Arctic H.I.S.S. and it was pretty easy to do.
First pop off the easy ones, the canopy & gun turret. Next you can see inside the turret hole, there is the big tab sticking out of the back of the tank right above the troop ledge with the 2 pegs(right above that in the middle). Push that in, it's kind of hard but once the tab is pushed in, pull the top half of tank towards the front of cab becasue the gas and brake pedels are the tabs that hold the front of the upper tank to the bottom half and the top half should come off. Then there are 2 small long tabs that hold the treads onto the bottom half of the tank body. pop those lose and pull the treads toward the rear of tank to pull the front tab on the treads out of the lower half of the body right where the treads start behind the cab part of the body. Once the treads are seperated from the lower half of the body they come apart right down the middle and you can take the 2 axles out and the rear cover plate with the hitch on it comes off also. Hope this helps for you. |
