Default RE: tracks?



Sadly...

Conrad will NOTship to North America. I checked last fall, and unless you can get someone in Europe somewhere to place the order and then transship it, you're out of luck on that front. Shame too, they have lots of nice stuff, including that new 6x6 'Reely Kaiman' amphib that used to be the old 'Robbe Rodeo' amphib. It uses skidsteer and Tamiya Sand-Scorcher-like rear sand paddle tires (they have vids on YouTube). I got a Rodeo off eBay last year, but it needs a few parts, and now I'm scr&wed.

The 'kettenfahrzeug' that used those track links is seen every so often on German eBay, and one is up on US eBay now, mistakenly labelled as a Graupner Kyosho Blizzard. I saw one on German eBay with its original box, and it was called a 'Caddy',a 'geländekettenfahrzeug' or 'area tracked vehicle' (Bablefish) Note that it has NO suspension, and the foam 'tires' on the 'vintage' one are damaged but could be replaced with standard indoor racer foam ones. Still not worth $300 even if he's replaced the stock plastic gearing w/ metal, IMHO.

I agree with Reb here... you will probably get more track options from the 1/6 paintball guys at RC Tank Combat.</p>

That ULTOP stuff at Emerson looks interesting... bet its not cheap though (http://www.emerson-ept.com/eptroot/p...duct_info.html)
