Hi Tanktop

Thats the idea with the tensioners they relax and tension when required should stop busted idlers and or tracks :thumbup:

so what youve done is correct and they arent really meant for adjusment as such

Hi 432
i get the idea , but the reason i wanted to fit track tensioners was i found the track were to lose and tryed to jump of the rear idile this proved to be a real pain .
i have fitted one track so far and it seem very lose, so ill fit the other track an try a test run, im not that the spring strong enough for the job ? are you runing any of your tanks with these tensioners ?
I am runing with meatle tracks and i dont know if they were desined with those in mind .

if you find the tracks really to loose maybe take a link or 2 out :thumbup:

tracks on real tanks arent that tight and really quite loose :thumbup:
