Hi have just got my first tank and am finding that the track pins keep coming out would a bit of super glue on the end help or is there a different solution ? Please

Good Morning, Bulldog,
Try a different pin from your spares on the (hopefully not many) links where you are having an issue. If that fails, replace the link. If you are not wanting to do that, go with some removable Loctite thread lock first, making sure to keep it to a minimum of application.

Thanks painless for the info I do seam to have a lot of pins coming lose so think will go with loctite and see how it goes.

Hello bulldog.... if your tracks are metal... what Painless recommends with Loctite is the way I would go..if they are plastic.... run your tank full throttle in circles... (spin)... allow the pins to loosen up... push each one back in... putting (carefully) a drop of super glue one each side of the link where the pin is...that should solve the problem nicely...repeat if necessary... My Panzer IIIs all had this problem mostly because of he width of the tracks... they flex quite a bit.. Krazy glue worked fine

Good Luck

PS do not use loctite on plastic tracks... in time the tracks will melt

Thanks ALPHA they are metal tracks so will go with glue and see how goes.

just a quick tip,I use a metal thimble (got mine from boyes 95p ) keeps the glue off your fingers & stops the track pins sticking in to fingers.

Thanks for all the advise put glue on the ends of track pins and it has stopped them coming out for now,
