Shermanfreak I have a question

Yeah I've just decided to break the sprocket apart and redo it and make them line up. I just wanted some other opinion's. thanks all

You could do a hack job on some on one of the sprockets, and just put the teeth directely into the space between the tracks where they are supposed to go-what I mean is cut off all the teeth-or the offending teeth, and reglue them to the tracks when you appy the tracks.

Ok ... so it's an alignment problem on the sprocket itself .... in that case I would realign the parts or you tracks will not sit right.

The alignment pin on the sprocket itself is a little bit on the sloppy side, so it's easy to get them out of alignment.

is it the first release of the M51?
are all the other teeth lined up?

Ok here is my delima

going step by step from the directions, that's the way it turnded out.
this one a Dragon or DML

Hey Les,

Which M-51 you building, the DML or the Academy.

Just by the sounds of your description it's probably the DML offering I assume.
Something you may want to try is filing down the edges of the drive sprocket teeth a little until the track nests in there nice and tight. Otherwise you may have to do those bits over again. You probably have enough spare tracks to do them again without prying them apart.
