Warning

[Dennis Jones]

Just a warning to anybody building a Tiger make sure that if you are going to bolt the various modules to the side mudguards that you make sure that the bolt heads don't protrude. Mine did and I couldn't understand why when I went over an object like a piece of wood the tracks were jamming, what was happening was that the wheels were being pushed up by the track which was pushing the top of the track up against the underside of the hull/mudguard and catching on the bolt heads. Now all bolts removed and modules now secured using strong Velcro pads.

Thanks for the heads up, im just coming to that bit

Velcro does the job really nice

[Garry Coomber]

I haven't experienced the problem, but I did consider that. An alternative if you really want to use bolts is to use small dome heads. Velcro is great for things you are likely to want to remove or I used it in model yachts to hold the RX battery pack in place and stop it wandering. I've tried it in tanks but don't like it as whatever it is secured with it has a slight tendancy to move as it is not a rigid fixing. I found that heavy duty servo tape does a sterling job, and at least you can get it off if you need to. I believe that Hobby Stores do a sheet which you just cut to size. You don't need a lot either as it sticks like you wound not imagine.

Servo tape! Would that be some sort of double sided foam tape by any chance? I could see a million uses for a good brand!

That's the suff. go into any good model shop and ask for some good quality servo tape and I am sure you will be sell you some. No idea what brand is good.
