yes tracks in line.
as in if you look from the back, you'll see the left track is coming off
as it's poking out past the mudguard
edit: the track tensioners are an expensive but good idea.
to get the right sag to make them look right makes the tracks a bit too loose to drive hard
also plastic tracks tend to stretch a bit.
buying the asiatam/taigen lower hull is proberbley a more cost effective way of doing it
costs 50 big ones but looks very nice & comes with track tensioners already fitted.
check it out from forgebear or wdm

Aecon I think Lister is absolutely right about an Asiatam metal hull but before you think about selling the cat as I said earlier I am not familier with Heng Long Tigers but see if you can tighten up the rear idlers on both sides, I think you will need a hex head or a philips screwdriver, WHATEVER you do, do not force it , if I remember rightly these are only self tappers so it would be easy to strip the thread, you may find the idlers have caps over the screwheads, they should ease off. good luck! shaun
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

hi if the idler has a screw in it then yes if its just an axel then no you will need to mod the base to fit
