Ditto ausf!!!! My Tamiya Tiger I is at least 13 or 14 years old. I bought it either one or two years after it was released in 2000. Still has the nylon tracks and original gearboxes. No metal gun barrel for the main gun. The only mod I made was to replace the elevation clutch gear with a solid “Blue” gear. No metal elevation arm. It still runs great, knock on wood, and only wears metal tracks for display. As ausf said, the nylon tracks will last as long as you run them on soft surfaces. Pavement and concrete will wear the ice cleats off and leave a fuzzy texture. Yes, I ran mine on pavement and paid the price, but I have a new set waiting in the parts depot. Love this tank as build and runner.
