WTF?! So I just installed these, and this video gives incomplete instructions, resulting in a couple lost pieces on my end. At the 0:20 mark, see how they are holding their thumb against the brass hub? That's because there are little itty bitty teeny weeny pins in them that connect the hub to the axel. So hold(on a table, or over a plate or container, just in case) the Scout at a 90 degree angle so that the brass hubs are pointing straight up. Slowly pull the wheel off. When you have it removed check the axel. You'll see a small hole on one side of the brass bit, with a tiny silver pin slotted into the hole. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PIECE. If it's still in there you're all set. If it isn't check the table/container for it, because it fell out. This is the piece that actually holds the wheels on. Without it they'll just fall right off. Thankfully they did include 2 spares in the track kit, but I had lost 2 before I even knew they were a thing. So how about including 2 more pins, and updating the instructions? Thanks. The other 2 were pretty easy once I knew there were bits that could fall out.

Hey bro, I'm also thinking about swapping the Mechanum wheels to the track wheel; did it work fine with Brother? Is it worth installing these? In their own website, assistant( AI) it said it will not work with a mechanical wheel model. Swapping will lead to problems in patrol mode, etc. is this true?

@@indipendentscrambler The tracks have been installed on mine since I posted that, and it works fine. Better in some cases. You lose the feature to move in any direction, but it'll follow a set path easier. I'd recommend buying/printing/fashioning your own bumper, as without it it likes to climb up objects and flip over when it meets them. With the bumper it does not, and can actually push some decently sized objects. I've seen a video from someone who fashioned their own attachment to the rear which keeps it from flipping over. It was like what WW1 tanks would you to cross trenches. But yes. I can only speak for the Scout model, but the tracks have ben fine on mine. Just remember to take the wheels off close to the surface of a table, and don't lose those tiny pins.
