Default RE: My Tiger 1 keeps throwing treads!

Tracks to loose - define too loose lol. sitting relaxed the treads start to lift off the road wheels at the 4th one from the front.

more likely to much movement on the drive sproket- does it move when wiggled with your hand. - very minimal movement. no loose screws.

Make sure you have no loose track pins. - all tight as can be sir!

There will be a reason as they dont throw tracks for no reason. the fix for loose drive sproket is to look closely at your gearbox , it can be tightened up there or you can add a piece of aluminium on the outside of the hull with a 8mm hole in it for the drive shaft, screw or glue it on after popping off the fake gear cover on the outside . Tony

- I think i might have to shim up the forward part of the gear box. drive might be off a bit making it roll to the outside.


well that gives me a good reason to pop it open right? lol
