Keep forgetting I have a pic to put up for this. This is quite simple, a bolt with a hole drilled in it and a pin made of piano wire. The pin extends down into the tube making up the swing arm, and rides on the lower surface, being pushed on when the wheel is pushed up.
Two nuts hold the bolt to the hull, with the bolt head outside. A wrench in the outside nut and the bolt head allow the grip on the hull to be loosened, allowing the bolt to be rotated to adjust the pressure the spring pin is putting against the swing arm, changing the ground pressure and/or track tension. I really need to make a example piece, with the side of the tube cut away so the actual arrangement can be seen from the side. You do need a sturdy side wall to take the torsion on the bolt used. -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
