Hi all, i have today received my newest tank (as above).
My question about the tracks is because in fast spin it dances and threw a track. Can anyone tell me the correct direction of travel for the V's on the treads ?
Also the lights flash in time with the machine gun. I have not had this on my other tanks.
Has anyone else had this problem ?

Thanks in advance Andy.

Hi Andy, on both my HL and Taigen Shermans the V on the track should look like a V when viewing from the front of the tank. As far as the lights flashing in time with the MG, my HL Sherman also does this but my Taigen does not. Very irritating isn't it?

Thanks for replying jtracks.

Your answer tells me my tracks are on the right way round then. Do your Sherman's fast spin ok then ?
I wonder if its a weight issue ( the Taigens are heavier because of the metal upgrades ) maybe.

I also wonder if its the RX18 board in the HL tank that's not quite right......

Yes they do spin without problems. I've also gotten rid of the HL tracks and installed Taigen tracks and drive sprockets, they look so much better. Even with the HL tracks on the HL Sherman, I did not have a problem during a fast spin.
