Tracks

Post by Topper »

Hello
I have noticed that metal tracks do not perform as well as plastic tracks on grass or concrete or am I doing something wrong?

My Tiger With metal tracks and wheel have no issues with yet on grass where I take it for a run maybe it’s the weight.
The Challenger however does not preform so well on the same grass banks as the Tiger does.
Also your issue with the grass is what type of grass is it.

Unlike the Tigers metal tracks the Challenger has rubber pads inserted in the tracks and that could be why its grip is less suited to the conditions.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
