Track tension HELP! SOLVED

[bfrank1982]

Hi guys.

I really need advice:

Just put on metal tracks on my Torro/taigen lower hull of my sturm tiger.

It seems as if the second to last Road wheels of the left side give a clicking noise when turning.
I have Tried to adjust the tension i that side to see if that could maybe make the track guidence thingies sit more tightly between the Inner and outer row of Road wheels.

Any advice on How to fix this?

The tank drives pretty straight in different tension settings. Allthough if to tight it jams. So have presently set it Where it is...

It ran perfectly on the plastic tracks


I look forward to your advice. Pictures Will be welcomed

All I know is that if the TRACK touches down on the THIRD wheel from the SPROCKET your tension should be right BUT this changes as the track and sprockets wear. shaun

I assume you have metal road wheels as well ? The only think I can think of is that it is loose from the grab screw and it is only hold onto it by the two outer road wheel. It is probably clicking as the track tooth keep hitting it when it is running by. Try to wiggle it and see if it is loose. If it is then it is just a matter of tightening it back onto the swing arm from underneath.

Yup I'm with Michael on this... the culprits are you track teeth...either settling in or catching...check the teeth ...they might need a little attention

Good luck
