Can someone tell me where to find more realistic treads for the 90?

Maybe I could find some TM treads that would work.

Good Morning,
Artistic Hobbies in Texas normally carries them but they were out of stock when I checked yesterday. These are the hard, pinned tracks which are the best that VS or BOL have to offer for this scale. Contact Gene at the site via email or phone and see what he can do to source you out a pair. I would not wait overly long tho' since Artistic is getting out of the 1/24 scale tanks to concentrate on carrying 1/16 makes and accessories.
regards,
Painless

Hmmm..... I have ordered Vs tank motors directly from manufacturer but I can't seem to find the website. Maybe they have tracks as well ?

Here it is but it looks like it is a soft tracks as well.

At times it's tough to just settle... my Leo is an example of just that... it's the hardest thing to find anything for that scale..even proper decals

I know, I tried to find 1:24 modern tank crews and there are none.

The scale is just hard as far as tanks are concerned... figures you might be able to modify those for RC Cars... but detail and upgrade stuff... not so much...it's probably the reason I stick with 1/16....though it could be said in some cases... some tanks are about equal to the smaller 1/24th scale stuff...it's just there are more things available that can be adapted ;)
