Re: New Tank tracks have loosened.
OK, everyone who responded. I have finally figured out what I did wrong that caused the tracks on one side of my JS-2 to sag noticeably when compared to the other side. As I said when I first introduced myself I am not only a noob when it comes to RC Tanks but an RC anything noob. I failed to notice that the idler wheels on the JS-2 which offer some adjustment in increments so you can set track sag are right handed and left handed. As you've guessed by now I put them back incorrectly lol. Well, I have now fixed the issue. Thankyou for all your suggestions though.

I use 3 x2 wooden blocks under mine as well, Lee.Model Builder 4 wrote:That is a good tip about raising the tank off its suspension while not in use GJ, I use 3x2 blocks which I place under all my tanks with torsion or sprung suspension, it's just enough to keep them off the ground and sitting on their full weight for extended periods of time![]()
Cheers, Lee.
