Out messing about with a local meet. Pushed the HL Pz IV a tadge far. Managed to break the tracks 3 times while out on the trails.
Now here is a question for people. If the RC crawlers go ‘crawling’ do the RC tanks go ‘tracking’?

Are you sure it wasn’t a GI sticky bomb!!

It's usually stones caught in the tracks that break them, if the tracks stop moving, always stop the tank and remove the stones. If you keep using the throttle stick you are powering stalled motors, which produces maximum amps through the control board, and you run the risk of blowing the board. I always keep an eye on the tracks, if one stops rotating I stop the tank immediately and go and check. Grass or stones can cause the problem.

Yep, the patch of fine sand had small stones in which the tracks would pick up when we were slewing the tanks. Normally I drive mine at a lot slower speed than that night but we were in ‘hold my beer, I got this’ mode
