Thanks for the update Mr. Sailor, good to hear that they come with proper pins :D do they seem robust enough in your opinion to stand up to the rigours of rc'ing ? :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee.

Yea they're pretty nice & robust enough for outdoor use but I'd buy a couple boxes to be safe. I know my way around castings since that's what I've over the years to help pay for this & other hobbies so have to say I'm impressed after spending a half hour with these.

Nicely detailed, very clean Zamac links without any trace of flash & its hard to notice the injection points since they are one end which will be easy to conceal. Pins are brass, smooth shank with head & fit nicely, a little too smooth for my taste when inserting into the track but given their size I didn't expect IMPACT's knurled pins. You'll certainly want to use CA to retain the pins after assembly.

Overall very happy & already am lobbying for more 1/16 track & sprockets. Would love to see them do some more mainstream subjects so I can ditch some of my MATO tracks for something a bit more upscale.

I'll give them :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Wayne, you can use these tracks also for a Pz. II like I do, because Pz. I tracks were 28cm wide and Pz. II only little bit more with 30cm; you won't recognize the difference in 1/16

Cheers,
Freddy
