RE: poor traction issue, suggestions please!
after running it today with some added weight it does in fact run better, but the tracks are the problem. if i run my fingers along the tracks they are smooth, so im going to add the rubber pads as suggested. and patton you are right there are alot of instances where it is rubbing on its belly. when that happens i try to find a path where there is less snow for the belly to get stuck on. adding the weight made a great difference as did breaking in the motors and gearboxes.
panther G, thanks for the "expertise" on the motors eatting themselves, that was very "technical" of you to point out. a year from now when the motors are still going strong i will be sure to bring it to your attention
