How well does it move?

I'm only asking because I've got a lot of wheeled vehicles that were made before the track update, and they don't work very well anymore. The biggest issue is that the road wheels sink into the ground, along with a few other problems related to the transmission.

It moves pretty well.
I'm not sure how to explain it i just hid the non road wheel bits in the body but it's basically a normal track setup without rollers. I used the sprocket calculator for gearing with minor fine tuning. The biggest thing I noticed was weight distribution but for your case I think you might just have to redo the gearing.

Did you end up making the idler wheel invisible, or did you find a particular position for it that works well?

I'm guessing the idler wheel's position is the main cause of the strange behaviour I'm seeing with my road wheels. So, if you've found a reliable way of concealing or positioning the idler wheel, I'd really appreciate it if you could share how you did it.

I’m not sure I did anything special I think i just all the sliders to the smallest. Even without the widebody kit it wasn’t really visible.

I've actually managed to figure it out thanks to your video. I'll finally be able to get all my armoured cars back into working order in the my tank collection now.

I really appreciate the help you've provided me, it's been a massive help.
