Good explanation of how to fix this problem, I did the same with mine about 12mths ago, made a huge difference.

Playing Devil's Advocate, would you say that's a design fault or a track radius problem?

Graham

definitely a design problem in my view. When running them on the straight or large radius, over 750mm radius they worked absolutely wonderful, anything less and they came to a standstill.
