Thanks everyone for chiming in. I have more track options than ever now. If Tamiya would produce the 1/16 scale "hush puppy" tracks I would line up for that.
cleong the PlastiDip is an interesting idea. I just might go ahead and try it on a few links.
oldwolf75 I drove my tanks pretty hard, on rocks, so the nylon looks very beat up. Its surface looks roughed up and perhaps the flip side of it is it would bond to PlastiDip better. No, the roughed up nylon tracks doesn't help the lack of grip, unfortunately.
