For all those wanting to build the M10 from AFV Club,a little warning on the drive sprocket It's part # c17 and c18 It has a tab and slot method If you line those up the sprocket teeth won't line up and the tracks won't sit in correctly I built the first M10 when it came out
My solution was to cut off the tab on part c17 and then line the teeth on both sides up I then used liquid glue on it When still soft I used a section of track to make sure the teeth were lined up properly Hope this rambling is of help to somebody
