Track wobble, help

[slaychild]

Just noticed on the new HL Tiger that the tracks wobble when driving. Is this common and is there something I can do to fix this issue. Thanks

Bent drive shaft can cause track wobble.

Put tank on a stand run tracks and see if the drive wheel moves off centre.

Ive had this on brass shafts.

Couple of possible causes

Bent shaft
Gearbox worked it self loose
Bush holding drive shaft in gearbox wall come out allowing the shaft to wobbly around

Hope that helps

I will take a look, but I thingk I have to buy a new gear box. Damn, just got the tank too.

Will the HL Panther G factory Gearbox's work in the Tiger. Would like to see if it is the Gearbox.

I checked all the Gearbox's and they look okay. Here is another video and I included both sides. Both are wobbling but the left side is the worst.

Agree the gearboxes do look ok, cant see the shaft wiggling inside the tank.

Try taking the drive wheels off and see if the shafts wobbly when spun.

As for panther gearboxes fitting, not certain technically only defference is the drive shaft length the actual gearboxes are identical. From memory the Tiger is short.
