Many thanks

Hi agentgrider ,
+1 to what eastern said....and if possible please can you post some photographs of the track that is 'misbehaving'....with a shot from the front, rear and underside ? This way maybe we can see what the problem is....

hello agentgrider,

your problem sounds to me the same i was suffering for in my Tiger I. Finally it was a matter of sprocket-roadwhhels-idler alignement, well, the idlers were the culprits, both were off for some mm. I used a simply solution, i put a spacer in the idler axel, and no more clancking every time a guide horn 'jumped' over the idler, and most important, no more track jumping off, ever in bad terrain, sand or grass.

best regards

Here you can se how my M tracks+ sprockets were behaving on me. Needless to say I was a tad dissapointed after flinging out that amount of cash.

Solution was to go back to plastick sprockets as you can se at the end of the clip, and also in this clip. Running nice and smooth

Hi jussek i would like to try your solution by use spacer can you give attach some photo how you do it so i get some reference ... actually me also have the same problem in my tank but only at left side ...

hello akina,

if hope to make the pics this evening, sorry for the delay


best regards

hi akina_subtitude,

this is the better i could do the pics without taking the tracks off:





hope it helps

this 'solution' is a temp one, i will change soon the track tensioners (the model with springs) with the HennteC ones, with fixes trensioning system, and i hope to be able to align the idlers with more accuracy then.
