Ok guys, I have developed a new theory over the weekend. In recent weeks, I have much maligned the HL Tiger for obvious track problems. But now I have come to a different conclusion. I think all radio controlled Tiger models have track problems! (although I can't speak for Tamiya). Is it possible that a scaled down vehicle would inherit all the traits of the full size? Case in point is my new Marui Tiger, which I was excited about, until this weekend. I had been running the tank inside, and everything was great. I took it outside for a bit of bashing, and things went downhill. On the plus side, the tank climbs like a mountain goat -- the Tiger is geared really low. Another positive is, it's not as fast as it seems inside -- speed seems scale, as my VS Leopard will leave it in the dust (as it should be in real life). However, the big downside is -- it throws tracks EXACTLY like the HL Tiger. Does the very same thing. They come off the outside of the front sproket first, and then somehow, they do the same thing the HLs do -- come off the rear idler. Very disappointing. It also makes me rethink the whole HL Tiger thing -- maybe I was too quick to give up. My question is this -- are we just not driving our tanks in a very "scale" like manner -- i.e., are we trying to turn too sharp in high traction areas?
