I want to cry! :sorry:

I lost a track, one of the pins backed out and bent. Luckily it didn't break the track itself. So I straightened it and went to install it on the track. I ended up finding 10 or maybe even 15 pins working out . I pressed them back in but there just isn't much material for the pins to grip to. I can't see how anything can be done other then ca them from the backside.

Another bummer is I have 2 cracks in one of my rear sprockets... The bad one is on top and the other is on the opposite side.

And only after about 5 minutes chasing the kids outside. :crying:

While I am in a rotten mood (not really) I would just like to thank the person that put mine together and painted it. I think a drunk dog could have done a better job. The paint is terrible and there is glue everywhere. On the panels, 10x too much gluing the parts together.... I am not impressed.

The tank itself is wicked, drives as well as it looks. The small tracks have a lot harder time climbing grass slopes. But it floats over the terrain.

I am going to seriously consider using my discount for the metal tracks. I think this tanks going to need the rear bogie and the very small track is going to need help if its going to stay together... Still overall I think this is going to be one of my favorite HL's.
