Hi everyone.

I´ve had some trouble with dragons magic tracks. It seems mine shrink after assembly. I get them all perfect sitting on the tank, but when a week or so passes, the whole thing is really tight and comes up a link short. I´ve expirienced the sprocets on my panther g smart kit get bent inwards due to this oddness. When i assemble my tracks i use tamiya super thin glue and i do the whole track in one continous run, but leave an opening at the sprocket to dismount them for painting and such. I put some tape over this opening to keep things in place while the glue dries, wich i let it do for days just to be sure ive done nothing to disturb them, trying to avoid my mentioned problem. I also us various types of padding to keep the sag where i want it. This has happened every time i have used them, and i´m now wondering if i will have to get new tracks for my entire dml kit pile-up. Has anybody else expirienced this? What am i doing wrong??
