How slack are the tracks in question? If you don't have a track tensioner system maybe remove a track on each side?
Not much, just the way they came. Though it looks like one is slightly tighter than the other.
The tracks in question are plastic, and they usually slip when I drive on grass and turn hard. The manual is telling me to unscrew the idler wheels and adjust the arm to tighten or loosen the tracks, but the damn screw refuses to budge.
I don't know how to '"remove" tracks per say - so..
I'm not very familiar with the T90 I assumed it was like all the other Heng Long/Taigen models I own. Can you attach some photos of the tracks sprockets and the idler adjustment screw? I didn't know they came stock with a track tensioner adjuster.

Shite, I forgot to mention this was not the T-90 I was talking about. This is a Leopard 2A6. I'm so sorry for that - I thought I'd add this entry to this existing thread rather than having to create a new one.

Here's a few picture links to G Drive.
The forward picture of the hull and tracks is to show the track inclines from the front.

There's an adjustable part under the drive sprocket you can move on indents/slots , whatever you call them , to make the tracks tighter or looser.

I tightened tracks on both sides. Slippage is a lot lesser now, but still happens. somehow I feel that they're at the highest tensile strength for plastic tracks.
