I was told to have 1.5-2mm spacing on track shoes. Originally I had them rather tight. They too sprang up bad. Re-milled every shoe to get 1.5mm spacing and it significantly reduced. Sometimes in mud or when I don't clean the shoes from the day before and dirt hardens they spring up but for the90% of time they lay flat. Keep in mind I'm fairly new to tracked machines.

Cooper, is that on a machine about the same scale as mine 1:16?

Here are two pictures of the current frame mod to accept the hitec 225MG servos. The angle parts are attached to the casting on the sides and the small brackets capture the servos. Working on a new set of brackets to go up to the 645MG servos. At this point the frame width is too narrow, not sure how I'm going to get the full sized servos in there?
