reconnecting metal tracks
What do you guys use to reconnect a pin into metal tracks? Anything you have found more effective to get them in place other than constant wiggling them in?

Hi Bludo
I often use long nose pliers to pull the 2 links together, works well on M41 tracks , you place the long nose in adjoining sprocket holes, then sqeeze them together, though not so effective on M26 tracks.

Hi Bludo
M26 track - http://tankarmy.com/heng-long-tank/p...l-tracks-p-223
M41 track - http://tankarmy.com/heng-long-tank/p...ea3pjicdn8ctm5 -
Both of these are the latest production versions, and somewhat simplified - the M26 track now has a fake 2nd pin, far fewer parts and less articulation, the older design M41 track had a hole in the 'rubber' track pad, which allowed a better grip if you used truck bed liner to create a 'rubber' pad..
