I'm still looking for a reasonable pricing for Maus Tracks to be manufactured from cast aluminum (Hooben's Nylon tracks suck, and their metal tracks are meh...)
Still have the Juckenburg on a shelf in the box. Well worth it for the details.

I'm going to have to resurrect my Maus build thread
What do you consider a 'reasonable' price for aluminum tracks? I believe the only way to keep the cost down for
an aluminum links is for it to be a permanent mold item. For that sort of development the volume sold has to
be great enought to pay for it. I don't see someone doing that anytime soon, but I hope I'm wrong. Perhaps
Kenny Kong will develop a Zn alloy track..
