Only one problem, They are on holiday until the 10th April!
I get most of my bits and pieces from them, they have a very speedy turn round, that's when they are not on holiday!!!
They are accepting orders just not delivering for about a week.

Easiet way to get it back on, CRAZY GLUE! I can't tell from the pic how its secured to the tank. Does yours have adjustable tensioners on the idler wheels?
It has adjustable tensioners operated from two screws under the floor pan

Ed you appear to have the early issue pre-mod idler the later one (SAME PATTERN) has the two halves held together by two screws, that will solve all your problems with the idlers, be careful when shopping for them as it is easy to be fobbed of with the pre-mod idler shaun
The wheel lost its screws and broke in 2 correct? The wheel is secured to the adjustable tensioner by a small hex/allen head screw that holds the axle pin in, loosen that screw and the idler wheel with axle pin will slide off of the tank. Once you get it off Crazy glue is an option to put the wheel back together without using the 3 screws it looks like you lost. OR you could always pull the other idler wheel as well and take out one of the screws to take to the hardware shop to compair it to so you can get screws.
So would I be better off saving for a henntec adjuster and a pair of wheels? I might email Dom at RCtank de should be under warranty? Either way the tanks off the road for ages
