Not RC related anyway.
Question: has Fruilmodell or anyone made a replacement track set for the Tauro A7V (- a 1/35 model)?
If you've ever built one you know why I ask. the stock track while excellent in detail for a 1/35 model
is fragile beyond reason. I built one of these many years back, I remember cursing heartily at the track assembly
process. I've had to move it from time to time and just tonight the track came apart. Again. Very annoying.
Neat model, I have 2 more NIB but I shudder at the prospect of building them.

Have you checked ebay, Tank? I have seen a lot of different tracks on there from this company. They seem to have the 1/35 scale covered pretty well.

After I posted I actually went and browsed Fruilmodell's website and nary a A7V reference did I see. I think the problem with the OEM
tracks isn't really the tracks other than they're so small and therefore the material at the hinge points miniscule. The pins supplied actually
have a sharpness to the cut ends which when pushed into the track links actually cuts the plastic damaging the integrity of the link weakening it and
making it susceptible to breakage. That hadn't occurred to me until I really looked closely. In hindsight it could have probably been largely avoided
if one used different pins or carefully cleaned/ filed the end of the supplied pins. More tedium heaped on an already boring assembly task....

Who are you? .......And what have you done with Jerry, code name "Tanque"?
Your bogus posting has fooled no one. Jerry is a 1/10th scale man. He powers his metal tanks with gasoline engines. He does NOT build 1/35 scale static models. Your posting is ludicrous and I laugh. HaHaHa.
State your demands! How much is the ransom for his safe return.?

I think Jerry's just using this as as a reference model for the coming real thing in larger scale.
