All fitted and tidy, so far 45 mins on a 5000 lipo battery with no sign of it going flat, fitting the ibu2 has made it so much better to drive , still need to make a battery tray and sort left hand track throwing issue

Looks the part.
The left hand track looks under tension in the photo - are you running metal tracks ?

Great looking Tiger.
Have you tried shimming out the idler on the L/H track , this can help?
Also , as Tiggr mentioned , the track looks over tight.

Thanks Aussie, yes but may have to adjust some shims a bit more all though some thing at the front doesn't Look right either the hull has taken a knock or the gear box is not straight.

Right then ! Think I. Have solved the track throwing issue, problem was at the front end, the Sprockets where pulling the tracks off the front set of road wheels and the tracks were too tight.

So i have got fed up of the traverse gear box falling off, the front of the hull popping out and various bits falling off, so have ordered a complete taigen hull ! which means there are no original HL parts on the tank!

Speaker up date is next. unless i can get rid of the interference any other way?

So the refurb continues my girls bought me taigen upper hull for father's day which has had all the moulded on tool removed and coat of primer. One big bug bear I had was the air filter pipes getting in the way when removing and fitting the hull. So now the air filter are attached to the hull with magnets.
