I haven't had the opportunity to try it yet but the way that most seem to do it is by drilling holes in the side hull and putting a straight pin or paper clip through to hold the track down in the right position. I would suggest posting this question over on the armor board. There are plenty of guys over there with more experience in that area to help you out. Pete

Drilling and pinning is definitely a viable method, but a bit overcomplicated. You can achieve good results by using thread to tie down the track to the #1 or #2 roadarm.

yep, the drilling idea should work good. I havent tried it yet though. The way I have made "sag" on my tracks is by using CA Glue, or crazy glue, and glueing the tracks to the road wheels where necessary. its worked fine for me several times.
