RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hello,

a modeller reported problems with the Tamiya JS-2 to me.

I asked him to send me the sub-tray to see itself........

The tank was only briefly in the area and is equipped with org.Plastik-chains

Here are some photos :








I will dismantle the lower hull and view how much space is available to install a more comfortable and stable chain tensioning system.


to be continued........



with regards,Guido

I did add bearings to the wheels a iblers, tracks have been run slack and tight (idler adjuster only gives two modes), if i run slack the track tries to come off and makes an annoying clicking so i ran them tighter

Hi Geoff, the idlers (which are just road wheels) have the same bearings in as the rest so alignment will be the same alignment. I didn't use the js-2 bearing kit I had to mill out the wheels to allow the bearings to fit flush where they should.

Hallo,


I do not know exactly why the problems have arisen, is important but that you can eliminate the error.

Now I want to show you my solution.

The chain can be adjusted from the outside
The important connection of the left and right side is also created, now the owner can put on,without abdominal pain raise, metal chains.

Hey Guido, this looks fantastic! My front end will be rock solid now (oh er missus)
