Adjusting Drive Sprockets to Release Track Tension

Post by gosselin2112 »

This is a really great method for model builders on a budget who cant afford to get aftermarket tracks for their AFVs. Enjoy!

Hey gosselin2112 !!!

Thanks for sharing this technique with us !

and also thanks for the SHOUT OUT !!! it always helps !

interesting method you have used ! and since I once build that kit before... I understand it would have been easier to mod if the Floor had not been there... as there is a Screw in the Rear shaft I beleive... to adjust the tension !

If I recall correctly ?? but what you have shown us... is HOW to do it afterward !!! and it is a great solution that can be adapted to many other models...

Keep up the good work and Keep that Attitude towards modeling !!! its a good one !

Lots of peoples have lost the real reason why they build models.... but you nailed it on the head !
its a Journey !

Later my friend !

Norm. :cheers2:
