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

[Michael151722]

All those road wheels are assembled wrong.
The track teeth need to go between the metal parts of the wheels.

Not sure if you can find this useful, but at least look at my wheels

Hello, Thank you for your reply and my track teeth do go into the wheels but the grey thing that separates the two metal disc, what item # is that? None of the MF pieces are big enough to create that level of separation, and could you also tell me what I did wrong

There is no extra grey part. It seems the issue is you have assembled the wheels wrong. Check the gap between the wheels in my red king tiger. The tracks teeth go between each side of the wheel.

Edit: please try taking a pic of the wheels where we can clearly side the sides.

Sir, with all due respect, those wheels are wrongly assembled and your tank will not work good until you fix them. Remove the wheels, unscrew them and fit the metal parts correctly. Otherwise you will have the issue

It must look like here, And not like you assembled it. if the metal parts touch each other, is wrong.

But worry not, is an easy fix. In 15 minutes it should be done

The gap between both my tanks is exactly the same.

That grey part is part of the wheel itself, no extra part.

After seeing your new pics it is obvious they are wrong. Just remove the wheels, remove the screws and fit the metal parts correctly, that is it.

Could you point me to where I am wrong so I can fix it?

Thank you

Hello Mate, appreciate for pointing that out for me, I think I got the hang of it, is this correct?

Here is another one here

Yes, that is it.

Indeed, it is not assembled as indicated in the instructions? the metal records are in the right direction, but you must have made a mistake with their placement? look at the attached photo, the green parts in the green notches, and the red parts, are the holes to pass the screws which fix the whole, and of course install the other elements as indicated. Hence we question the fact of the gap between piece A 5qyi plate not on the disc? and so can there be space between the two?

Okay, am I losing my mind?? it's the opposite, for the colors, Red in the notches of the discs and green for the fixing screws. Be careful because if you screw and unscrew so much, you risk having problems?

Bonjour Rad, plus rapide que moi bon week end

[Michael151722]

Yes, that is it.

Thank you gonna work on it hopefully it’s a quick fix, but o can’t turn the tank over and unscrew everything is it ok if I have the tank wedged between a box so one side hangs out and the other stays inside while I work on the outside one?
