sirhc Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Since the Sabre is the same as a Scorpion or Scimitar look up either of those in the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronsandt Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 But I thought it was different. But makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Why did you think it was different? The turrets are different but the hull, suspension, etc is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronsandt Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 I just remembering a man I saw that had sabre as something different. Didn’t know if the updated suspension made a difference or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronsandt Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 Tracks won’t stay tensioned. But don’t see a grease leak. When I pump in grease it kinda pops out as it goes but when driving hear same pop and their intentioned again. They stay at over 6 1/2 plus inches. They don’t seem to go any further. Their close to road wheels! Any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 If the track tensioner is fully extended but you don’t have enough track tension then it has stretched and it’s time to take a link out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronsandt Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Have to take one out of each side! How far out it to far so I can measure? To make sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana and Jackie Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 If there is less than 1 inch (25.4mm) between the tension ram and its stop then take a link out as Chris says. Diana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlienFTM Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Measuring Scorpion track tension circa 1980. Put fist vertically between top of centre road wheel and track, approximately 4". If the gap is bigger: increased wear on suspension. If gap is less, track slap and damage to the hull. If the track cannot be tensioned any tighter and create a 4" gap, remove a link. If there are fewer than 76 links, the track is overstretched, and a spot of track bashing with new track is in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
