1/16 Tamiya King Tiger Road Wheels won’t spin

Did this even exist? It's a bit of DIY, shouldn't you have arranged the plastic rolls?

Which radio are you using? If it's an analog 4ch Futaba/Tamiya Attack then you just use the slider trim to adjust it to get it straight.

I tried both directions but it still does veer a bit so I compensated with me steering the right stick and also the straight one to make it as straight as possible. It goes backwards fine just forwards it veers a bit

Ignore me I am so stupid I adjusted the wrong trim it is better now and doesn’t veer to the left now, again Thank you for the tip, gotta say I am quite proud of my build for a first time modeler, posted in the show off section of my tanks

Before you get used to driving the tank can i suggest you switch the throttle and steering to the right stick. I have no idea why Tamiya continues to think throttle on the right stick and steering on the left stick is good for tanks especially if you battle. HL and Torro both use the throttle and steering on the right stick. Once you get used to driving you can basically drive with your right thumb through any situation leaving your left hand to deal with the firing/elevation of guns and turret rotation. It generally only requires switching out 2 leads to your receiver

I feel like I might do that makes it so much easier, Thank you

Good morning,
Personally on mine, I immediately replaced these ugly plastic rollers with bearings, there is a small adaptation to do (easy) but it is worth it, like replacing the freewheel tensioner system, with a " Hentec

Morning, what rollers do you mean like the springs?

[Panzermechaniker]

The turret rollers. He replaced the nylon rollers with roller bearings

[Jofaur86]

yes it's good as it says "Panzermechanicien, ball bearings, sorry no more photos....have a good day.

Hello I was told on Reddit that my road wheels are built in the wrong direction meaning the metal disc but to me it seems right could you kindly take a look?

Thank you

Hello, attached photo doc.Tamiya on wheel assembly...on the other hand, I am surprised that the space between the two discs is not greater??
