The tracks on my Academy Merkava 3 are too short! I've already pulled a drive sprocket off trying to get the 2 sides to join! How can i fix this?

hi blank,

i often use AFV club 1 piece sherman tracks, and these are always too short. try warming them very gently, like in a bowl of hot water etc then gently stretching them to the required length.

cheers

yes i also agree greatbrit just get a warm bowl and just stretch them.
i had to do this my tamiya t34 tracks.
and its works well i start off in the middle of the track and pull out ward.
until i get to each end of the track
