Nah Herman, used to tanks breaking down! All fixed now, just have to save the pennies for metal running gear now! Talking of pennies I have used a load in the front hull to counter weight the gearboxes as this back end weight causes the back to sag under acceleration and the track to go slack and override the sprocket if this don't work will try stiffer springs.

Looks like it just pulled the entire idler mount off. At least the idler mount is stronger then the glue holding it on.

Small rocks, wet sand and sticky snow are tank killers.

I have found many things that are tank killers unfortunately, but I enjoy the challenge! Glued the idler mount back on and added a screw for extra security!
