The tracks in question are plastic, and they usually slip when I drive on grass and turn hard. The manual is telling me to unscrew the idler wheels and adjust the arm to tighten or loosen the tracks, but the damn screw refuses to budge.
I don't know how to '"remove" tracks per say - so..

Re: Tracks
Shite, I forgot to mention this was not the T-90 I was talking about. This is a Leopard 2A6. I'm so sorry for that - I thought I'd add this entry to this existing thread rather than having to create a new one.c.rainford73 wrote:I'm not very familiar with the T90 I assumed it was like all the other Heng Long/Taigen models I own.

Re: Tracks
Here's a few picture links to G Drive.
The forward picture of the hull and tracks is to show the track inclines from the front.

Re: Tracks
There's an adjustable part under the drive sprocket you can move on indents/slots , whatever you call them , to make the tracks tighter or looser.
Don't get your panties in a bunch , we still got hand weapons and the fifty!

Re: Tracks
I tightened tracks on both sides. Slippage is a lot lesser now, but still happens. somehow I feel that they're at the highest tensile strength for plastic tracks.Aussie wrote:There's an adjustable part under the drive sprocket you can move on indents/slots , whatever you call them , to make the tracks tighter or looser.
