Hi Frank,

I'm sure some of the more experienced Tankies will be along soon to give there advice.

In what way are you trying to adjust the tracks, track tension or lengthening the tracks by adding links?

Try popping some pictures up too and get a build thread going at the same time.

The tensioner is two bolts on the underside at the rear of the tank. As canned says, the real Tiger had the tracks meeting the 2nd road wheel group. However the RC version might find this a little sloppy and the tank detracks itself when pivot turning on anything but a smooth surface. In that case run the tank and tighten as needed but don't overtighten as it will add lateral stress which is bad as the Taigan doesn't have a shaft between the idlers to help balance this out.

If you are using photobucket ...right click on the image... copy the photo's "image info" ...then when you bring it here...click on the IMG on the control bar ...and paste it in between the two IMG...AND /IMG icons ....you can check if it worked by clicking on preview on the bottom...then press submit to post ;)
