When first testing driving the bike chain tracks, they became loose (bad tension wheel mount design). When I ran over some roots and things, occasionally they would look like they were going to fall off, and would be off of the middle two road wheels. However, they would fix themselves quickly. Now that the tension is tighter, they never fall off. It only has about 45 minutes of actual driving time, but falling off is not a problem. One thing I would change next time with bike chain is to put the smooth head of the rivets on the outside. The rough bumps are too grippy. There are a few pics on T080 on the website. Bill

I have been thinking of making 1 inch wide tracks using a double strand of bike chain rather than a more stiff and inflexible heavier roller chain with flanges. -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
