Hi Hein SA
That is a magnificent tank that you made. Are the screws that are holding the track pads on countersunk? If not, you should give it a try so the screws don't get grinded down from long use. Just be sure to not countersink the pads to far or you will have to start a new one.

Hi Tiny Tank
Thanx
! I did not countersink the pads, the allen key bolts are just screwed on tight that they pull into the plastic quite a bit. I have tried to countersink the pads but the drill or cuontersink bit tends to "bite" into the plastic resulting in a cuontersink that is too beep so didnt bother... The screws do get grinded down but only when neutral turning on abrasive surfaces
