Stormbringer Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 is it the upgraded version with metal tracks and metal gearbox ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent for some spare links as I think the tracks are too tight, watching videos of real tigers the upper track hangs lower almost resting on the road wheels.

Stormbringer Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 yes but if to slack they can jump the sprockets and rear idler just try 1 link at a time 🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave O Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Yeah true. I'll try one at a time but wouldn't go beyond 2 anyway. I just want it to look more realistic. These are too tight and unrealistic IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 mind you they do stretch a bit as they wear/bed in give it a run and see if they stretch a bit🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave O Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Ok, thanks for your help, I'll keep that in mind and let you know how I get on. I'm still waiting for the extra track to come, think they're coming from China.👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave O Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 I got the spare track at last. I think this looks better, more realistic, it works fine, no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
