Re: New Tank tracks have loosened.
OK, everyone who responded. I have finally figured out what I did wrong that caused the tracks on one side of my JS-2 to sag noticeably when compared to the other side. As I said when I first introduced myself I am not only a noob when it comes to RC Tanks but an RC anything noob. I failed to notice that the idler wheels on the JS-2 which offer some adjustment in increments so you can set track sag are right handed and left handed. As you've guessed by now I put them back incorrectly lol. Well, I have now fixed the issue. Thankyou for all your suggestions though.

Re: New Tank tracks have loosened.
I use 3 x2 wooden blocks under mine as well, Lee. It gives a wee bit of stress reduction (for me, perhaps not so much the tanks )Model Builder 4 wrote:That is a good tip about raising the tank off its suspension while not in use GJ, I use 3x2 blocks which I place under all my tanks with torsion or sprung suspension, it's just enough to keep them off the ground and sitting on their full weight for extended periods of time
Cheers, Lee.
