kdog, the tiger tracks are stock. I was about to pick up the metal set but decided not to since they're still in perfect shape. I haven't broken a link yet. However, I am on my third set of front drive wheels. The darn thing keeps breaking apart on me. I placed an order this morning with Mato for the metal set and the WSN T34. Looking forward to upgrading that with the HL electronics. Not to shabby on the panther painting. I may have seen similar paints schemes but not just that color. regardless, I myself wouldn't mind having it as part of my mobile arsenal.[sm=thumbup.gif]
