Step 1: Prepare Individual Track Links
- Identify the Metal Link, Rubber Pad, and Track Pins from your parts list.
- For a single track link assembly, use tweezers or a similar tool to hold the end of the rubber buffer.
- Carefully drag the wire (track pin) from side to side until it passes completely through the metal link and rubber pad.
- Cut off any excess wire once the pin is securely inside.
Step 2: Assemble the Full Track
- Connect all individual track links in series using the track connection shafts to form a complete track loop.
- Repeat this process for the second track.
Step 3: Assemble Front Wheels
- Align the connecting shaft with the hole on the back of the new front wheel.
- Assemble the new front wheel onto the shaft.
Step 4: Install Tracks onto Vehicle
- Carefully remove the original front wheels and metal tracks from your WPL E 1 GAZ 71 vehicle.
- Install the newly assembled front wheels onto the vehicle.
- Mount the complete metal track loops onto the vehicle's drive system and wheels.
- Ensure the tracks are properly aligned and move freely.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your RC track parts, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Regularly inspect the tracks for dirt, debris, or small objects lodged between the links. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clean them. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the plastic or aluminum alloy.
- Inspection: Periodically check all track links and connection shafts for signs of wear, damage, or looseness. Ensure all parts are securely fastened.
- Lubrication: While not typically required for these types of tracks, if you notice any stiffness or excessive friction, a small amount of dry lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) can be applied to the pivot points, avoiding contact with rubber parts.
- Storage: When not in use, store your RC vehicle and spare parts in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your RC track parts, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tracks are stiff or not moving smoothly. | Debris lodged in links; loose connections; insufficient lubrication. | Clean tracks thoroughly. Check all connection shafts for proper seating. Apply a small amount of dry lubricant if necessary. |
| Track links are separating. | Track pins not fully inserted; damaged link or pin. | Ensure all track pins are fully inserted and secured. Replace any damaged links or pins. |
| Vehicle performance is poor after installation. | Incorrect installation; tracks too tight or too loose. | Review the installation steps carefully. Ensure tracks have appropriate tension – not too tight to bind, not too loose to slip. |
