Also would it be wise to put the metal tracks on the plastic Tiger or would it cause it to bend and bow in a long run?
The metal tracks will have pros and cons, the pros mainly being a bit better grip and weight to add with traction. The cons are going to be weight added and a bit more wear on the plastic drive and idler wheels. You can always just add a bit of weight on the inside of the tank first to simulate the weight addition to see if you want it first, just know when you add weight the tracks will be at a much lower center of gravity and more spread out than something you place in the chassis. The tracks will cause no issues to the tank if you are wondering about stress, the plastic edition Tiger 1 comes with the same metal chassis the metal edition tanks do so load it up
