Hi All

I was hoping that some of you chaps might be able to help me out, I thought It would be a good idea to get an Idler up grade for the KT kit as I'll be using It quite a bit when built, I wanted to know is it a simple upgrade, what are the options, where to buy one, Ive had a look around and can't find any!!! I've read a similar thread on here but I didn't find It too helpful, also they recommended WDM but they do not seem to have any.


Thanks Jake

I used these two on mine. They're the same as the ones at WDM.

The axle which goes across is kinda important to stop the hull flexing when you have the tracks tensioned. If you're using metal tracks is pretty much a requirement as they have to have a fair amount of tension on them. They can't be left with sag on them like the real KT.

They're meant to go with these but I used them in the stock idler mount without issue: http://www.axels-modellbau-shop.de/kata ... :3433.html
