How hard are the metal road wheels and sprockets/tracks to install on the HL models? Are they easily purchased? I have been looking at vendors all day and it is very confusing to know what is good quality and what is junk.

Are the 6mm Airsoft pellets easy to get? Are they the standard ones that the guns use or are they a different size?

It is looking like two HL's to start; I need to find something I like (I really want to eventually finish a jagdtiger; I like the assault guns and how they adapted to fill a role as a tank instead of just infantry support).

Sorry about all of the questions; I am trying to make an informed decision and your input is very helpful!

One thing to keep in mind about aftermarket parts, just because it's 1/16 it MAY NOT FIT unless specifically meant for your brand of RC. Now that doesn't mean it's impossible but just may not be a direct replacement and will need some modifications. Things like metal tracks... not all brands will fit and may need further parts and or modifications.
