What is needed more are metal sprockets for the Easy Eight. The plastic used on the Easy Eight is much softer than on say Heng Long tanks. There are a number of all metal tracks already on the market that will fit the Easy Eight. Regardless if the track is Hooben or other metal track the sprockets are not durable enough to handle long term use of metal tracks. Already mine are showings a fair amount wear from just the factory plastic track. Given I have been driving this tank much harder than most would.
