Best track adjustment

[Tiger 323]

Hey guys, I did try to search a few times but was unable to find anything on what tends to be best for driving in dirt/mud/sand. I’m not too concerned about what is historically accurate as far as tracks having slack, just more curious if the 1/16 rc tigers overlapping wheels function better tight or loose. I have heng long tiger 1 and tiger 2, both have metal gears, tracks and metal sprocket and idler wheels. If I had to guess I’d say a little slack might be better? Just curious how the people who drive them outside have the best luck having the tracks setup. Thanks!

I use the Henntech (sp) tension adjuster and run my tracks slightly loose. I haven’t had to readjust them in over a year and drive my Tiger through hell and back with no problems. Just one man’s experience.

Thanks! What motors and gears are you running?

I’m using the the Heng Long dual current unit from Forge Bear. Quiet and practically unstoppable.

Not that I’m aware of. I run an aftermarket board and hobby grade radio so I’m not absolutely sure about factory board’s compatibility. Should be okay though and others may chime in with more precise info.
