You have two choices:

Either pull the pads out and sand them down a fraction.

Or you can run a few tanks as it is and they should free up a bit.

Running tanks through the car is much more fun.

The solution is very simple. If it binds, then take'em off! The whole thing. Don't use brake!





Now, it'll roll very freely...

Can I say the ratio of length/teeth is 3:1 then?

It took me nearly an hour to figure that out. How long did it take you?

The belts for the conversion are they 363 teeth or 363mm in length? Trying to find a source locally for them.

Thanks

You need to use the 2º offset rear wheels.

Alright guys, i got my MTX-3 today and started building it. Im glad to be a part of this forum now. Anyways, did anyone have trouble putting that clip next to the one way, that was so hard for me. I was just wondering if anyone else had trouble. Construction is going smooth and cant wait to be done!
