Sorry for the duplicate postings. Not sure what went wrong.

Here is a video of my SDM PZR L III from 2 years ago.

It still runs here..

The rubber track has broke twice on this model as the rubber track gets too much traction when turning on some surfaces. I looked into getting better tracks for it but because its a "L" version, they are hard to find. I think with better tracks it would be a good Tank. I have not given up finding the right tracks for it. Some metal tracks would. be nice.

Model is not a complete build at this time. I have about 90 or so model Tanks in several scales so it takes me awhile to get them done

Hi, I recently bought a 3D printer (about three months ago) and just by watching YouTube tutorials I started to use Fusion 360. Another good option is to print your own tracks. For 1/35 scale a good filament printer is enough. Now after the M48 I'm thinking about an M113, I've already done some tests and they seem to work well.

Very interesting I have built two Tamiya M113's and the supplied tracks seem to work pretty good. So when you say printed tracks you have to print each segment individually I would think?

Yes, with individual links.

Oh that is nice. ITL is the way to go. Any new progress?

The next Panzer III I do is going to be the "M/N" version. The one I have is a motorized version. These have good tracks that work well as a R\C model
