KT Metal Upgrades
Hi All,
I ordered the metal upgrades for the Matorro KT( boxes, tracks, sprockets and idler ). The boxes were bent so bad that I couldn't even turn them by hand. Took them apart and straightened the frame. I'm running them in now. Will report later on how good they work. The tracks and drive sprocket are pretty straight forward, but the idler came assembled and had a push pin like the HL Tiger I road wheels. I was wondering if anyone had substituted the pin for a screw and just how they did it. Any help will as always be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Jim

RE: KT Metal Upgrades
I would be happy with the push pin, and maybe drill a small hole paralell and use a set screw. WIth screws, one side will work its way out because of the rotation.
