Torro tank being weird

[Deathcrusher]

Tracks are not lining up at the front and the final drive gear has a small amount of wiggle room now that I cant fix. The tracks are out by different amounts and moving the gears back doesn't seem to fix this. Im able to place a screwdriver between the left track and the hull at the top but not on the right side. I'm not to sure yet whether I buy another motor/gearbox and use that as a reference to try and fix this one or give up. I also revived the dead motor.

Did you drive it aggressively? With the smoker on top of that? The smoker is what consumes the most energy! Is it allowed in all tanks? There's some play in the mechanics. Did you run it on grass or gravel? It wasn't really designed for that. What type of tracks do you have? Is the engine broken? If it was usée like that, it's not surprising! It would be surprising if Mr. Bix supplied you with something that malfunctions

No it wouldn't have been Herman Bix Definitely not, I have had issue's with it since I first got it but sending it back would've been to much. I mainly drive it on short grass and occasionally gravel roads. I also have a Taigen tiger I that I use the same as my king tiger and im still yet to have issues with it. I'm very confused.

Sorry Mr. Bix, I mixed up two topics... If it's going in circles, could one motor be faster than the other? Or is there a problem with the control board? Could it be a gear spinning on its axis? What type of radio do you have? Is it possible to try it temporarily with another identical electronics unit? My questions might seem silly, but... Are the tracks mounted the same way and in the correct orientation? Same number of links?

[Jofaur86]

If you have a neutral setting on the radio, check that it's properly centered and the same on both sides. Are the gearboxes aligned at the same axle level? Are the motors identical?

I have already done all most of this and the tracks are still very close to the hull. I can try to get photos of it later.

This is what i have so far i can try to get a video when i get home as this isn't in the best orientation, but you can see their is significant difference in clearance between the hull and the tracks.

I cant get the recording to work on my phone, otherwise does anyone know of a setup manual for this gearbox. Im looking for one right now but any help is appreciated!

Taigen is the same as Torro. The Taigen US site is a little more helpful as far as parts information goes.

This is the gearbox for a Taigen/Torro King Tiger: TAG120264 - High/Low, 4:1, 58mm Gearboxes (basically a HL59mm gearbox)

I was thinking about this one as it has better motors but I'm pretty sure it's to small.
