Can anyone advise? I use all stock parts and follow instructions building to the dot, but can't seem to find any things wrong

I also find its prone to doing it with the more violent turns(the Blizzard being capable of turning at least 90 degrees at any speed can wrench the tracks pretty hard), I did actually manage to get one track to come off the rearmost wheel doin a sharp turn... it hasnt happened since I adjusted the tension tho... if its like the EV you need to loosen the two screws towards the back of the chassis and move both rear wheels back a little further until the belt seems tighter(but not so tight you cant turn it over by hand) and then tighten up the screws (it shows you which ones in the manual)
