Thats ok. We do still get new members in the hobby all the time so there is nothing wrong with bringing attention to a product if it is new to you. Because it is just as new to someone else also.

does anyone know if those really make a difference in the snow or just the regular tracks work fine?  i'm thinking about using my old PIII as my runner in the snow...

Believe it or not they really do disperse the weight of your R/C Panzer III better than the stock tracks.

Yes they help in snow. They slip less on side hills and they give better floatation in soft snow. I switch out my stug's tracks from stock to winterketen with the seasons like snow tires.

You know, I've been into RC tanks since January 2005 and I have YET to drive in any snow with any of my tanks. []

Hopefully that will change this coming year and with the possibility of an all metal tank... I MUST have my chance this time!
