Default RE: MY NEW VS 1/24 TIGER 1's are here!!!

Hello all, from what I've been reading about vs tanks they seem to be good for the money, well I just recieved my tiger IR & man this thing is messed up! first they forget the antenna so I used a different one, then I noticed the tracks pop off about very 10 seconds from both of the back wheels & sometimes from the front sprocket wheels aswell! so I removed 2 links from each side so it couldn't throw the tracks, then the recoil motor started not working sometimes & working at others, then the left side track motor started sliping so it would run for a second then stop for a second & so on. This was all right out of the box. It's been a week & none of my emails have been replied to yet, I've sent around five. I hope you all have beter luck with yours! There is a design flaw with the tracks though, the reason they pop & click & come off every few seconds is because the track holes for the sprocket whels are too far apart.
Way too far apart, when one tooth is in the hole of the track the next hole is way too far away to reach the next tooth, the pop your hearing is the track finding it's way inot the next hole. Thats why you hear the pops every second or so on the video.
