lanierrl,
I used a choc block connector to connect the 4 extra wires from the proportional smoker to the motor feeds then connected it to the Elmod board, because the wiring points on the elmod board are not big enough for two wires

the proportional smoker runs as a normal unit controlled via the 4 extra wires. it gets its power from the HL board.

I have fitted the track adjusters and the track now stay on the wheels and do not try and jump of the rear idler
a few pictures showing the backing plate and bolt fixings for the track adjusters
the top two bolts hold the plate to the tank body side
the bottom one is the axle for the adjuster
and the one at the bottom edge of the backing plate locks the axle in place hopefully stopping it from rotating and the track jumping

I just hope that they are not too strong that they break the lower hull

you could if you were worried about it bolt a piece of "L" angle to the bottom bolt and bolt/rivet it to the floor

might give you a bit of piece of mind
