Do you mind pming your number to me on here, like WhatsApp? I still have a lot of questions for it.

Thank you

Yeap ,the stock Tamiya idler assembly is total rubbish. Get your henntec unit installed and post another video of how it runs then. Good for other new members to see the out come and not to bother with the stock unit.

Would you happen to know how to install it, I just started a new post with some questions regarding it if you could kindly answer that would be great!

Sorry Michael. I have actually used Axles Modellbau King Tiger idler upgrade kits on my KTs because there is no drilling holes in the hull required. I do have a Henntec unit put aside for my Tamiya Panther in case I need it but that is in storage and not easy to get to. Google translate may be it unless some else can help you.
