OK, everyone who responded. I have finally figured out what I did wrong that caused the tracks on one side of my JS-2 to sag noticeably when compared to the other side. As I said when I first introduced myself I am not only a noob when it comes to RC Tanks but an RC anything noob. I failed to notice that the idler wheels on the JS-2 which offer some adjustment in increments so you can set track sag are right handed and left handed. As you've guessed by now I put them back incorrectly lol. Well, I have now fixed the issue. Thankyou for all your suggestions though.

Hello,
Despite everything ,provide a support under the frame,to relieve the suspension
during the hours of rest

Cheers, Lee.
I use 3 x2 wooden blocks under mine as well, Lee.
It gives a wee bit of stress reduction (for me, perhaps not so much the tanks
)
