I would look for anyone that's tried Taigen tracks and sprockets. I'm pretty sure the tamiya driveshafts have to be modified, but the taigen tracks are very robust, closed pins, and have a good, two-piece sprocket that's also pretty tough. I also think they run more smoothly than the standard HL tracks. I do know the HL and Taigen don't play well with each others sprockets, so I would be sure to use matching brands for that. If the Taigen turn out to be viable they're fairly cheap (compared to impact) at $56 for tracks and $14 for sprockets and idlers, but I'd check for compatibility issues with the idlers. You may end up having to keep the idlers you have, but that's usually not a big deal. Too bad it's not a Panther, I've got brand new tracks and sprockets for one of those. Doh!!
