1/16 Tamiya King Tiger Road Wheels won’t spin

Forgot to answer yes I have a KT Tam. very old, the one with a single engine (but brought up to date with the purchase of numerous second-hand or new Tam. parts) prefer not to count

Wow would love to see it mate, and you seen the picture, looks good?

Hello, Thank you so from what i sent you my metals disc are in the correct position right?

[Michael151722]

I was looking at step 13 of the instructions and wasn’t sure where did that grey thing in the middle of the road wheels come from where it kind of separates both road wheels, neither MF parts are wide or big enough to be able to do that? Did I miss something on the instructions?

All those road wheels are assembled wrong.
The track teeth need to go between the metal wheels.

Not sure if you can find this useful, but at least look at my wheels

Hello, Thank you for your reply and my track teeth do go into the wheels but the grey thing that separates the two metal disc, what item # is that? None of the MF pieces are big enough to create that level of separation, and could you also tell me what I did wrong

There is no extra grey part. It seems the issue is you have assembled the wheels wrong. Check the gap between the wheels in my red king tiger. The tracks teeth go between each side of the wheel.

Edit: please try taking a pic of the wheels where we can clearly side the sides.

Hello the grey part where my finger is pointing to what does that reference to, and I see you have quite a large gap between your KT but the other one the gap seems a lot smaller. I have attached pics but I feel like I have followed all the instructions carefully tho so if I am wrong pls point out where!

[Rad_Schuhart]

The gap between both my tanks is exactly the same.

That grey part is part of the wheel itself, no extra part.

After seeing your new pics it is obvious they are wrong. Just remove the wheels, remove the screws and fit the metal parts correctly, that is it.
