Just an update in case anyone comes across this thread, DO NOT buy an old VS Tank. I can't speak for new ones because I think the issue might be the age of the plastic, or they maybe they used really cheap plastic for the molds. Basically if a tread seizes for any reason your gear is instantly stripped, and you can't buy a pack of gears by itself.

Hopefully with the re-release of the 1/24 tanks I'll be able to mod it or get better quality parts in the future.
