This is my first attempt at uploading images from Imgur, so please forgive me if its a complete mess.

The Tiger kit is from Cyber-Hobby/DML. I replaced the DS track with indi track from RFM and the fit was perfect.

Any advice on how to post the images rather than the link???

Hi Dudley.

Also battling to attach photos...it's not a very user-friendly system.

On a side note, I'm very glad to see that the RFM tracks fit a Dragon/Cyberhobby Tiger 1 kit... I've been contemplating doing the same with RFM tracks on a Dragon Tiger 1 Later production kit that I have but didn't want to risk the tracks not fitting. I can't stand the DS tracks...

Hi guys, to get the images to show in your post simply click the {img} button on the bar below the area for typing your message.
Then you can paste your own URL over the one provided.

Hi Paul

Thank you for that. I will try that out with my next post.

Mike, when assembling the RFM track I tried it out on my DML and Tamiya drive sprockets and it fits perfectly. Putting the track together is a bit of a chore - very much like Modelkasten track, but you get there in the end.

Using Imgur. Select the photo that you wish to post. On the right-hand side, there are "share" links. Below that is a box you can use to select the size of the image you want to display. I use "large thumbnail". After selecting the size, click on the "BBC" link(it states it is for us in forums). Simply paste the copied link to your post.

Copy your image address wherever it is then do this before and after it
[img] your address [ /img]
It works for me:)

Hi Matt

I am using Imgur, but can't seem to find the "Share links" option..... I'd be the first to admit that I'm rather technologically challenged.

Took another run at it Matt and found the links you were referring to, so above is the image. The track at the back looks a little odd, however, there needs to be a bit more sag from the drive sprocket which takes up the slack at the back.

Glad you figured it out. [img] is useful, but you still need a host for photos.

The track looks to be to long and you may have to take a link out.

Hi Mark

I took these pictures right after fitting the track to the model so it does look a little odd. I have since pushed it down a little just after the drive sprocket which takes up the slack at the back and it looks a lot better. Taking a link out would make the track way too tight - almost like rubber band type track.

Fortunately, the track is workable so I can manipulate it to get the correct amount of sag.
