RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

G’day folks, have been gifted a new T90 for Fathers day(in advance!) and as a pep-up after the passing of our little dog just a few weeks short of 15 years
Got to love the family for being so thoughtful, it’s really humbling.

It passed the unboxing test run perfectly, but being the petulant child I am, I just had to look inside it.
On close inspection the idler mount in one side appeared to be cracked/cracking.
There is not a lot of material around it.

Do any of you have an insight as to what’s out there to replace or strengthen this inevitable failure point ?

Is your tank a later 6.0 or 7.0? I ask because supposedly the idler bracket was strengthened in the later models.
Does your instruction booklet have these images towards the last couple pages?

Its a 7 mate, but I have not checked if the hull matches the instructions. but now I will look !

Three options...Henntec (probably best option at the moment), RCTank Legion (sold out right now), and Heng Long metal chassis (Expensive).

I've used all three. I have the RC Tank Legion one on my Type-98 and Trumpeter T-72 build on HL lower, the Henntec on my Hooben ZTZ-99A, and the Heng Long metal chassis on my HL T-72 build.
