Re: Phil's tracks [TANKS]

Well, you might not think much of this but I`ve got one pin on its own on the drive 
wheel,i was just wondering, how it would work.
The single pin just connects with the end of the track guides (M4 bolts) and it 
works fine,or better than fine.
have a see.

sometimes the pin hits the top of the track guides. and pushes that hinge off the 
drive wheel a bit.but not enough to throw the track,(yet),there are plenty of other 
guides to hold everything in place.

so Im quite happy with a pin/friction "combi" system.

Chyrs I`ve totally ignored the 2mm from the edge advice.maybe I`ll pay for this 
later. we`ll see.
