How to imitate the weight at the vynil tracks
There are many models that include rubber
or vynil tracks that are very easy to put in place but they have an important
problem, they don´t have the weighted look that you can see in the real
tanks.
There is a very easy way to do this. the only thing we need is a hairdrier.The first thing we have to check is that the tracks are firmly fixed, then we insert something between the return rollers and the fender. In this case I have used cotton buds wrapped in paper. It is important to put them all at the same time so we heat the tracks just once if not we would have to repeat the proccess and the track would go back to the original position where there is no preassure.

Once we have all the cotton buds in place
we can heat the tracks with the hairdrier, the heat should not be too intense or
else the track can be damaged. I would use the hairdrier at a distance of 20cm
or more and try to heat all the track at the same time, if that is not possible
simply move the hairdrier along the tracks fastly. Do it for 1 minute minimum
and let it cool.
Once the tracks have gone cold you can
take the cotton buds out and see the result, if it´s not sattisfactory you can
repeat the proccess.
One useful hint, the tracks will always tend to turn back to the original position a bit so press the tracks more then the position you want.
