Little track shoes falling off... time to research into a 3D printed track shoe.

Found a few bit of rubber dirt at the suspension area. Turn out that the vibration of the wheels seems to be rubbing on the head of the screw that is securing the suspension arms.
Even the use of 4 spacers sometimes does not clear the screw head.

Time to replace them with button arm screws to have more clearance.

That screw is a M3x20 but unfortunately, I can't find the half threaded version. Replaced with a general full threaded screws to monitor the performance.
I reckon some day, I will probably replace the suspension arms with a 3D printed version.
