Track issue

[Diceman]

Another issue I have identified is the gap between the track horns and return rollers as shown in the attached picture. 

The return rollers need a smaller spacer for the track horns to pass through. If not they will eventually cut the rollers off 🤦‍♂️

Pictures speak better than words!

Any comments?

[Diceman]

Could be done so much better

Those look aftermarket.

Who produces them?

[Diceman]

Made by Kingkong-rc  they expensive but quality.

Interesting to hear from the Agora team about this issue before I purchase a set.

Whoa - they have some nice stuff! And you are right, pretty pricey.

I think the Agora model we are building is more of a display unit than something meant for actual R/C fun. Some of the other kits out there are less expensive, some can actually fire pellets yet none have the FPV that this model advertises.

[Diceman]

A FPV will be pointless if it falls apart while driving it 😂

Either make a display model or remote control? And don’t forget we are paying a lot of money for this kit.

I’m not sure but what if you put a metal spacer between the roller wheels this will narrow the space.  Not sure if this will help I have not put the tracks on yet

[Diceman]

Hi Joep, it’s finding the correct size spacer and it might not work?

To clarify, it’s the depth of the gap, not the width. The track horns are just that little too long and will eat into the screws  that hold the rollers on when running through.

Pass a spare track link through the roller and you will find out what going on.

Good luck buddy.

No comment from Agora so I guess they have no plans to resolve this issue 🤯

If anyone wants my plastic return rollers they are welcome to them? You will need a spare set in time when running it, trust me!

I went ahead and purchased a metal set from KK and they are solid and look amazing 🤩

I just bought a set of metal wheels too.

 

Now to figure out what the correct colour of paint is....

[Diceman]

Maybe AgoraSam can help with which colour to use or maybe not?

I know there pricey little items but the detail is fantastic.

You will need to file a tiny amount off each edge to allow fit into the recess and use flanged nuts and not the castle nuts supplied.

👍

Further research is that it is FS 34094 NATO Green, which is represented in the Tamiya acrylic line as XF-67.

If you want a rattle can in the same brand, it would be TS-61.

Ammo mig jiminez do a set containing all 3 colours used on the leopard. NATO green, NATO brown and Matt black. Also useful for touching in bare metal hinges etc

Thanks for the options guy’s 

Have had pack 12 now for 4 days without instructions available and the suspense is killing me so in the meantime who can guess what the mystery piece is?
