Use the rear wheel idler adjuster. That will do the trick for you. Look in the Tamyia manual it shows you in there how to do just that.

The manuals are posted in the download section, You are looking for Metal Tiger wheels? Asiatam will work,designed to fit the same control arm axle,which should come with the wheels set. Check out Welshdragon s site for more information.

Tamiya Tiger Manual page12-14 these pages show the axles and installed in the wheels,then attached to the control arms,retained by a small grub screw against the flat section of the axle,the wheel set has axles with the same attachment point.


Below are the Tamiya King Tiger Track adjustment system,loosen the clamp bolts pull back on the tensioner arm/wheels and tighten the clamp bolts.
