One more thing I found slightly annoying was the hard plastic mud flaps, try driving through a small hole, up or down a hill and they'd dig themselves into the ground and stop it dead in its tracks. I removed them and its off road ability went WAY up but the track throwing issue was still there.

I bought mine from a guy who sells them out of New Jersey, took a month to get the damn thing also! Does any place still sell them? I had heard they were discontinued.

I only ever run mine outside, on grass, concrete and decking - never had an issue with the tracks.

I'm converting one of them into something, not sure yet, maybe an M3, if Rich will let me cheat. Rich Johnson has probably got the most halftrack conversion experience (I think Martin has done a few, too), and Commander Bob sells them and has had quite a few apart. I really like mine. If you don't mind, what are they asking for the one you want? I think I paid about $235 for my last one, but I'd have to check to be sure. Hope that helps.
Hey Max.
Do you have the contacts for the guys you mentioned? Don't know them by those names (-:

Can you post a picture of it, maybe someone has one laying about?

If not i know a few ripped out stock electrics and put in decent stuff, i do know getting parts for these items is not possible unless someone has a truck they are breaking for spares.

I have to finish unpacking, but I may have a spare, unless it was lost during the move.
