When you tighten the screws hold the motors gearing.so it does not move.

Re: Mato sprocket issue on HL M4A3
Are the halves supposed to stay together with friction or something? They just fall apart if they dont have a screw in themSon of a gun-ner wrote:I'm trying to think if one peg is bigger than the other.
I would take the offending sprocket off, check if the two halves go together properly, and check that the screw goes in far enough without the sprocket on. If the screw doesn't go in enough for the different make of sprocket, get a couple more of the correct size washers and use more than one on that screw.
It is possible that the hole in that gearbox shaft is not as deep as the other side, maybe deep enough for a Heng Long sprocket but not a mato.

Re: Mato sprocket issue on HL M4A3
I've noticed that with mine, though i couldn't space the sprocket quite the same way as i could with the left side one, I'll try again though

Tightens up more than the left screw, and when i drive it, the tanks veers towards the right.

Re: Mato sprocket issue on HL M4A3
Are the screws different lengths? Maybe an extra washer under the screw heads.

Re: Mato sprocket issue on HL M4A3
Sounds like some mismatched parts. Can you measure the length of the screws and do a side by side comparison
