    You will have to remove the upper hull. At the front of the tank, you should see the track adjuster.

    This need adjusting in or out as required. Excuse the rust. This was during heavy maintenance, and repair. Click image for larger version Name: IMG_0861.jpg Views: 373 Size: 56.3 KB ID: 425137

    You may also need to remove a track link as well.

        How do you know if you have a bad track motor? I got a used 1/16 Abrams and it won't drive straight. The cheap controller doesn't have real trim switches. I adjusted the tension and no change.

        Thanks!

          The Henglong controller has no trim adjustment. Your problem may be a pair of unmatched motors, a defective gearbox or misalignment of the gearbox. Many of the questions you have about Heng Long tank motors were discussed in this long thread where you can find some tip on trouble shooting.
