MF1 ring,MS1 axle,MF 2 ring in order?
Hello,
Thank you for your reply, I think I did it that way but could you confirm I have the two metal disc in the correct position as taking out the tracks to look at it would be extremely troublesome.
Thank you

In your photo, I seem to be missing a piece? the outer wheels cap A2 and inner wheels cap A4 longer

Oh that was way before assembly and I had A4 and A2 on my finished build but it was someone who suggested my metal disc were in the wrong position, but based on that photo could you kindly confirm to see if mine are correct position or no?

Personally, seems to me to be common sense, if all times, always finds that the space between the two metal discs? is a little fair, but maybe an optical effect with the photo? In addition, the plastic disc should be placed more firmly on the metal part, sure you have mounted everything in the right direction? not safe from a mistake, sometimes!!!

Yes the back should be in the right direction too, so are my metal disc in the correct position in this case?
Thank you

the metal discs can only be in one direction, otherwise it would be impossible to assemble the wheels...

Question: do the central teeth of the track pass properly between the metal discs??
