Default Turret Tollerance Issues

Fellas,

I have a HL Tiger I and it seems like the tolerance between the turret and upper hull is to great. The turret can slide back and forth, left to right a little and this seems to allow the teeth on the gears to slip and lose their bite. Has anyone experienced this and remedied it? If so how did you go about with the fix?

Thanks in advance!

Pat

Awesome. I was thinking about some how shimming inside the turret ring. It's good to know that someone else did this and it worked for them.

Thanks!
