[TANKS] Rubber snow and mud track from WalMart ???

2015-01-25 Thread Joe Sommer

Fellow tankers,

Has anyone tried Mr. Emergency rubber snow and mud track from WalMart ?
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mr.-Emergency-28-Rubber-Snow-and-Mud-Track/33651244

It is 28 inches long by 2 inches wide and costs $30.

Good news
Most 1/6 scale tanks need about 6 feet of track per side.  If we could
find some way to join three together, we could have rubber track for 
$90 per side.

Bad news
It is narrow and we would probably need to add guide horns or use 
toothed road wheels to prevent throwing track during skid turns.

Joe

Joe,

Check the description again they have the height and width are reversed. I 
guess it could be cut in half. We will let you experiment or maybe PSU.
