I could max out the idler adjustments and it would still skip on the drive sprockets. 95 links per track proved to be the sweet spot. Allows you to adjust for proper tension where you get a droop in the track so it touches the top of the third roadwheel.
Thanks - any idea's on the smoker switch placement? Also is there a way to make it a little less touchy for turning?
