8. Roll the track onto the wheel. Set one side of the track over the idler wheel and position the teeth inside the
tread holes. Line up the other end with the drive wheel and slowly roll the track, idler wheel, and motor
wheel (the motor will back drive) and the track will eventually roll itself into position.
9. Now that you have the treads on, roll them to see how they engage the teeth of the sprocket wheels. If you
have the treads too tight, they will put a lot of friction on the motor and idler wheels. If the tracks are too
loose they will likely not fall into the wheel teeth correctly. Adjust the tension by changing the position of
the idler axle in the slot of the chassis. To do this, you’ll need to remove the track and retighten the idler
wheel before putting the track back on.
