Definitely invest in some new gear 
Don't bother removing track pins. Small terminal driver in the idle wheel centre and unscrew the idle wheel comes off and tracks can be removed, 1 minute job.RobW wrote:I'll try and bring mine down for the GLAD August meet.

I forgot Rob....so an added note for your tracks...for replacing a pin...CHANNEL LOCK PLUMBERS PLIERS ....push the pin in till it reaches the knurled area...then use the pliers to "squeeze" it inRobW wrote:I'll try and bring mine down for the GLAD August meet.

Thanks - it's putting the pin in that I'm wary of. Bought a load of metal stuff off rctank.de to fix the damaged hull (poor packaging from HL, made sense to agree a discount rather than shipping boxes back and forwards). I'll check but think the idle wheel is held on with a grub screw on the metal chassis; no prizes for guessing where it is.....Tankbear wrote: Don't bother removing track pins.
