stug pulling left?

[glenny25]

hiya lads now getting on with the stug, got the girl moving now, runs well however pulls to the left, do I need to adjust the tracks?? I am running a IBU2, and metal tracks. thanks glen

Could be the track tension a bit tight on one side. Check for any road wheels or idlers which might be binding, could be that too.

Could be a number of things but as only just starting to run your stug it most likely tight running gear specially if using metal parts.

Try putting tank on a block and running for twenty minutes either through controller or directly off battery to see if that helps bed things in.

Hi glenny25,
Please can you post a couple of photos of the StuG so that we know what extras it has had added over the standard version ?

Hi Dietrich,
I did try and upload a pic , however says its too big, I have a Taigen hull, and wheel set , also the taigen brass gear box, metal tracks and running it all on a IBU2.

Is it any better yet?

[glenny25]

hiya tankbear, think I have found out what it is, on the right hand gearbox, the black c clip is bent out of shape and not holding the sharft tight, so will have to work out what size and get a new one.

Glad you've found the issue.

Hello Glenny.... have you tried checking your gearboxes.... sometimes the bushings bind on the gear axles... I found that problem on my KV2 and my second SHERMAN... usually loosening the two crossbar screws and the two base plate screws and jiggling the gears back and forth helps solve this... lubing and blocking your tank and running it full throttle forward and back usually assist as well... if that doesn't work... and your track tension ...idler spin is good... trim your remote

GOOD LUCK
