When i used metal track it would not work well. primarily wanted to skip gears in reverse due to case flexing. I switched back to stock track ad it works perfectly. I had similar problems with my elefant. a lesson learned here being that the long shafts used on a heavy tank are a recipe for failure due to case flexure. the short shafts on a Pnzr III or IV have a better chance for success.
