Track Trick.

Post by Tiny Tank »

Hi Everbody

I've been having a problem with the pins in the tracks coming out of place in short runs so I decided to take blue loctite and put a drop on the grooved side of the pinbs and popped them back in place. Its been several days since adding the loctite and I haven't experience any problems since then.

Make sure to apply it to the rough end of the pin.

Hi Tiny Tank,
Nice Idea.
I personally use 'Evo-Stik' glue. Push all the pins in correctly, place the track on its side and then carefully apply a blob of glue to the end of each pin. It is a bit large at first but once it dries it is great. Its not as neat as your solution but its a bit cheaper.........It can also be used to keep nuts and bolts in place...It is flexible and will not allow the part to vibrate free, but, it can easily be undone if needed. I must admit that I also use the same trick on my motorcycles as well.... :haha: .....If you completely coat the nut in the glue, it not only stops it coming loose but it also keeps it rust free... :D
