Is it me do the instructions tell you to put them on the wrong way? I followed the instructions but then thought that the tracks looked a little odd, the gripping teeth seemed to be the wrong way. I checked the instructions, I had done it right. So I had a look a the pictures on the box, and they had them the other way, the way that I thought looked better. So before the glue set I popped them off and flipped sides.

Something to have a think about if you're building one anyway...

Take a look at the Sicaran from FW. To me and other people it looks like the exact tank but just backwards. Perhaps Chaos did something to it?

I make bad decisions and think they are good.

Yes, they are backwards. I was actually going to make a post about this last night.

On the cover the tracks are correct, but on the instructions it tells you to put them on backwards.

You just need to use the tracks on the opposite side of the tank that it tells you.

Luckily I caught this in time to pry off the tracks before the glue had time to set.

GW makes mistakes with instructions sometimes, another good reason to think for yourself when you build. Anyway, this is a relatively mild error.

Yep, at the moment I'm thinking of trying to turn a Crawler into a Venator using a Crawler chassis and an unused Imperial Knight Rapid Fire Battle Cannon I still have lying around as a base... should make for a nice dedicated tank-hunter, something DG kind of lacks at the moment.

It's backwards because that's how chaos works. All Chaos vehicles move forward by going backwards.

Driving further away to shoot things with your gun is heresy.
