Chain Slap

[john swenson]

i took the center wheels off to test the tracks but without the center tire the tracks were hitting the main drive sprocket.( mine is a different design ). but i also was going to make my own tuners but don't have enough axle length to do it my way. so will just leave it for now. when you add the tuners which must extend the wheel out, do you also have to put spacers on the other wheels to bring them out also ? johnboy

Someone in one of these threads recommended I check my tire pressure carefully to see if it helps. I brought it in a heated garage, left it over night and then checked the tires with a very accurate gauge. I then adjusted the tires as accurately as possible. That made a major difference! Chain slap is almost gone completely. Couldn't get over the difference.
