Default RE: finally fixed the idler

Hi Chinito and Freddi,

my name's Fabio (I'm italian... so please excuse me for possible mistakes...)and I'm very pleased to meet you!

I own a beautiful 1/16 HL Tiger rolling on a all-metal suspension (metal hull and torsion bars, metal reduced gearboxes, tracks, roadwheels, sprocket and idler wheels... well, very little of the original HL Tiger! ) and I have a big problem with the tracks rolling off the idler wheels on narrow turns and superspin.

I'm using track tensioners, with harder springs than the original ones but tracks still come off. With the new torsion bar suspension, there's a greater clearance from ground so the standard "96 links" track configuration is much too tight, while the "97 links" works very realistic. How did you get your tanks to keep their tracks on even with realistic "loose" tracks?

By the way, very good job on your tanks!

Thanks a lot in advance!

Bye

Fabio
