I don't want one. I've got a buddy - former Armor, former Delta - who said replacing tracks is a BITCH.
T-34s are great when they work, but they are notorious transmission-shredders and spares are very hard to come by as the Com-bloc countries did not amass large spare-parts stashes like we did. They ordered spares as needed from the factories and when the factories shut down, that was it. You can get Sherman tank transmissions, engines, track, etc. today New Old Stock, but T-34 spares only come from cannibalizing other T-34s.
Big deal. It isn't like Top Gear is the first to do it. I watched a show filmed by the ATF back in 1993, where they demolished a house with surplus armor.
Divemedic beat me to it.
