i had same problem! worked ok with plastic sprockets...not working with metal sprockets even though the metal sprockets were from heng long and appeared to be identical!!! i layed the metal track out on a table and ran the metal sprocket along them and noticed the teeth were too fat to fit into the track holes! so i filed the metal teeth thinner to match the same thickness as the plastic sprockets until it ran along the layed out metal track without getting stuck! this cured the problem for me! regards md
sorry to be so off topic but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Tristen Magnus i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
great, glad I could help, I have a few of these tanks and did it to each, for the price you can't go wrong. I think My Mato Sherman tank didn't need to have a lnk removed but the rest did.
I have this tank and had to take out one of the links to tighten it up, its the metal track version and seems to run well now.................. good luck
I took a drill bit made a point on one end, lay the tank on its side use something to support the track you are taking off , back it up. Use the drill bit as a punch and knock it out, its just a friction fit pin, take out one link, When you put it back on , use the sprocket and loop the track over it, this way you can pull it tight to line the tracks back up. Jeff
soo.. you bought a new sprocket set? this tank has easily to find replacement parts?? I'm thinking in buy one heng long full metal tiger I tank, soo, I don't know anything about it.
Are u using the heng long metal tracks? I am and have the same problem. But a friend who has the asiatam lower hull with asiatam tracks seems to have no problem at all.
I'm also having a problem with my kv1. The left gearbox (for the left track) is loose for some reason. It won't go straight or turn right but can go reverse. The right side is fine I notice that gears on the left side is loose. I tried to fix it but nothing happened
I have some quick thought that might be of uset o someone with this problem with their HL tank...that screw in the beginning of the video, is stripped. The plate it mounts to is not secure. There's a big part of the issue. I'd epoxy a aluminum sheet supprt plate and replace that screw with nylon insert nut. I didnt realize both sprockets on the same wheel would, or should spin differently! I thought they are supposed to be one unit. More epoxy? The drive sprocket seems tob e spinning on its shaft. Also. Maybe a collar with lock hex screw and a lengthened shaft for a tight grip, also maybe make a slot inside the sprocket and add (solder, jb weld) a key (in machinists terms its called a woodruff key) on a lengthened shaft so it CANT turn on its shaft? One last thought. Maybe not practical and possibly stupid, but a thought. Add a seperate track tensioner. Right over the second or third road wheel. If you did it right, perhaps the fender skirts would hide most of it and weather the rest to make it less noticable. Epoxy, again, some aluminum sheet, a brass tube to hold a spring, and a plastic ball bearing, or wheel to press down on the tracks. The spring would not have to be, nor would you want it to be strong since it would continually be moving up and down in response to the bumpy tracks. Should have adjustable spring tension (which could just be a matter of changing springs to a weaker one etc.) and easily replaced tension wheel/ballbearing.
well you could try taking one link off at the time and see if that helps( se in my video) ore you should flip the tank over , and see if all the wheels are on a straight line Abitt hard to help without seeing what's going on.
Yeah, the hull was not true, making one idler hang lower than on the other side.. But with plastis sprocket's (org HL ones) the belts were fine, see my other video.
in mine m-41is about allmost a hour of play with the standard battery,i bought a 3600 one in a rc shop and now i can play for allmost 3 hours without recharge
it is because they probably made a cast(mold) of the plastic one, when you cast from a existing part, the result part will be a little bigger,plus they missed alignment of the center hole i think.. resulted 2 problems :(
I’m having the same problem on my t90 it worked fine at first but I took it outside and got a lil bit of mud in the track I took the mud out and now I have this problem
Leg mal eine kleine Unterlegscheibe zwischen den Einzelteilen des Triebrades! Das Problem hatte ich auch! Hat bei mir aber geholfen. Die Plasteräder nutzen sich doch viel zu schnell ab!
Tigers have the most issues with the tracks, I ended up pulling my metal tiger parts off and putting it on a bulldog, works much better with tiger sprockets gearboxes and tracks on a bulldog tank
Nice review..BUT..YOU DID NOT EXPLAIN IN ENGLISH ..AND, SHOW HOW TO FIX THE ALINMENT PROBLEM.YOU WENT FROM PROBLEM TO REPAIR..WITHOUT TELLING US THE VIEWER'S WHAT YOU WE'RE DOING IN THIS VIDEO.. SO I HOPE YOU WILL RESPOND WITH THAT INFORMATION..???
this was one of the first tanks I had, so I had not much experience on tweaking and fixing stuff back then, so I scrapped it ( sold it as part's tank) I took a brake for a few years, and got back into tanks, and now have 20+ of them. So what was the real issue here I dont know 100%, but I think a track+sprocket missmatch since it rides over the tooth's of the sprocket

@Tristen Magnus it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
@Baker Mario Happy to help =)

Nice! Plastic heng long road wheels fitted on taigen metal hull?
@Dongskie2
It's the metal sprockets that's not casted wery well
I have this tank and had to take out one of the links to tighten it up, its the metal track version and seems to run well now.................. good luck

How do you remove the drive roads?
I am trying to remove the plastic drive wheels of my Torro Tiger but I can't do it.
does this happen with the plastick tracks as well?
Hi, do you have a video or advice on how to remove the tracks?
sorry just read the klipp name... is it whit all sprockets in metal fore the tiger, becaus i thinking of a StuG III my self.
Is this also with THE heng long 3898 m4a3 sherman tank with THE 105 mm gun
How did you re-aline the socket
soo.. you bought a new sprocket set? this tank has easily to find replacement parts??
I'm thinking in buy one heng long full metal tiger I tank, soo, I don't know anything about it.
Beautiful
Are u using the heng long metal tracks? I am and have the same problem. But a friend who has the asiatam lower hull with asiatam tracks seems to have no problem at all.
Yeah,the sprocket seems to be out of center.
How can I prevent my tracks from slipping out on the abrams.
The tension of the track is low i thing
What did you do EXACTLY.. to repair the problem..because
You didn't talk or explain ANYTHING IN
YOUR VIDEO...?????
I'm also having a problem with my kv1. The left gearbox (for the left track) is loose for some reason. It won't go straight or turn right but can go reverse. The right side is fine

Is it a Heng Long tank?
my car, when backing up, it will be chained. what should i do?
this happens to mine heng long tiger tank as well!
read other comments, problem solved with stock sprockets. And tank was sold long time ago.
Can't wait to swap out my HL chassis with the DKLM.
Mine is pretty screwed up to. But my back wheel pin is bent
@quepacho64
should not. I think the 'pitch' of the metal sprockets + metal tracks were off. Metal tracks with plastick sprockets were all good.
well you could try taking one link off at the time and see if that helps( se in my video) ore you should flip the tank over , and see if all the wheels are on a straight line Abitt hard to help without seeing what's going on.
Which material gears? Steel, Zinc or Bronze? Or which of these ae that last longer, and indicate you buy?
black steel from rctank.de. This tank is sold long ago, but look at my latest video for New tanks
Ok... Agradeço pela atenção! Vou providenciar as de aço preto, obrigado!
Yeah, the hull was not true, making one idler hang lower than on the other side.. But with plastis sprocket's (org HL ones) the belts were fine, see my other video.
yep, all metal sprocket and ilder , stock wheels
Yes looks like front right sprocket buckled
in mine m-41is about allmost a hour of play with the standard battery,i bought a 3600 one in a rc shop and now i can play for allmost 3 hours without recharge
Yeah it’s the sprockets out of alignment or the sprocket tooth lengths and or the thickness of the sprocket teeth
I had it 2 you need to get 1 single track off the tracks get them on and problem fixed!
it is because they probably made a cast(mold) of the plastic one, when you cast from a existing part, the result part will be a little bigger,plus they missed alignment of the center hole i think.. resulted 2 problems :(
I’m having the same problem on my t90 it worked fine at first but I took it outside and got a lil bit of mud in the track I took the mud out and now I have this problem
did you fix it?
Leg mal eine kleine Unterlegscheibe zwischen den Einzelteilen des Triebrades! Das Problem hatte ich auch! Hat bei mir aber geholfen. Die Plasteräder nutzen sich doch viel zu schnell ab!
sorrry now, but I use a plier and a sharp 'dentis like ' tool to press the pin out to reach it with the plier
Tigers have the most issues with the tracks, I ended up pulling my metal tiger parts off and putting it on a bulldog, works much better with tiger sprockets gearboxes and tracks on a bulldog tank
should be the same, bougt at rctank.de at the same time. But with the plastick sprockets it was 100 % fit. Tank sold now. King tiger next
The screw
How much time you must charge the battery?
They run 25 mins after 3 hours of charging
I know its a first world problem,
But I feel ya brother.
luckely a loong time and many other good running tanks since this now
Is that OK NOW? I WANT TO BUY TIGER 1. IS THAT OK? PROBLEM FIX?
yes yes , no problem :-)
haha, you are just to funny ..
Your final drive looks a bit of but im sure you know this by now.
one of my tiger 1s has a kink in the track that causes it to jump off the idler wheel ,anyone else have this problem ?.
I do.
ok got it
The tracks aren’t meshing with the sprocket(s)
Fuck off, kid.
Not track problem. it is the sprocket problem
+sawajiri100 yes. swopped to plastick sprocket and all great :-) But this is long time ago, man many tanks ago , hehe
everything about the transmittion and hull was wrong, sold many years ago, but see me New lower hull test video, much better
Track tension
So how to solve the problem?
everything about the transmittion and hull was wrong, sold many years ago, but see me New lower hull test video, much better
Doesn't the Heng Long instruction say that you should only play indoors or on non-dirty or non-wet surfaces? The tracks seem dirty, that's all.
Nice review..BUT..YOU DID NOT EXPLAIN IN ENGLISH ..AND, SHOW HOW TO FIX THE ALINMENT PROBLEM.YOU WENT FROM PROBLEM TO REPAIR..WITHOUT TELLING US THE VIEWER'S WHAT YOU WE'RE DOING IN THIS VIDEO..

Just like the real one... Panzer III was probably the best German track system.
lol....
I went back to my plastick sprockets, all good. Read above.
Your track is too tight mabye
everything about the transmittion and hull was wrong, sold many years ago, but see me New lower hull test video, much better
This china made make me feel hopeless on that kind of metal track and eheel .....
there is no problem its fine its only cause u have it off the ground
GERMAN TANKS WERE ALLWAYS CRAP ANYWAY. LOL
That's why i don,t buy henglong tank,s any more 👎😖🤬
this is so long ago now, but yeah I hear yah about HL brand. I only buy 'Pro taigen/Torro now
Ok.....Did you fix it? Not very informative...try talking...sorry
wery old video. first gen HL chassie, not true. SO yes fixed now
