Mato Sherman metal lower problem
Posted: Sun Jul 23, 2017 6:03 am
Hi all,
At wit's end with Mato Sherman metal lower throwing tracks and was wondering if anyone has experience the same issue. I started off with a Mato Sherman metal lower with T-49 tracks and when I run it the first time is completely destroyed the tracks (shredded into 4-5 different pieces both side). I was having a tough time with the extremely brittle tracks when I put them together so I got a plastic set but now when I go into reverse it will throw the tracks coming off the sprockets.
I am also seeing the same thing on the Mato all metal M-10 that just arrived this past week which has the identical lower, and it has the metal T-74 tracks and I am seeing the exact same thing ! I had noticed that on my metal lower the sprockets are too close to the body (in fact if I over tighten the sprocket I can get it completely stuck to the body) so I have put in spacer but that didn't help. The M-10 I do not see the same issues but the tracks throw along the same way anyway.
It puzzles me as they are both doing the exact same thing, and I would figure if this is a common problem I would have heard about it thru this forum. Anyway, if anyone has any idea or suggestion that woudl be great.
